There's only one John Simlett!<br />Anyway, back to you - and like you say, it's very difficult to determine how dark to go with the subject without the background in place. Do you ever paint the other way around? By that I mean, the background first and then the subject? I only wonder because that's the way that I would naturally do it. What makes you paint the subject first? Either way - it looks fabulous :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995448576763269183.post-80927889551925838812012-10-09T00:38:46.641-07:002012-10-09T00:38:46.641-07:00Wow, what a transformation through the stages.
