slow but steady

Today was a bit tiring, and there was not so much time for the watercolour tonight. A little bit of progress, but not as much as I would have liked. I came close to losing the likeness on the seated figure while working on her eye make-up, but I think I have saved it. There is more work to do around the eyes of both women. I need to bring back the smile of the younger woman which disappeared in the last wash, and add the details of the eyes once the flesh tones have dried.

I am working in variable light conditions and must walk away in that "betwixt and between" stage when it is not quite time for the artificial light but the natural light is too fickle.

Today I am grateful for steady balance on the ladder.
