Here we have the second rendition of the ballet slippers. I took extra photographs along the way. I sketched them myself this time and I'm a bit happier with this result. I tried to keep the brush strokes visible, "painterly". These look like a child's feet though, the first one looks more like it could be an adult. Must be my sketch was a bit "short". I've recently been using palette paper, I tape it to the inside of a thin flat 9x12 inch plastic container. It has a lid, so I just close it up a night and the next day, some of the paints are still just fine (the brown is not, it will dry overnight even in a closed-off environment). When I've filled the whole paper with paint piles, I just take it out of the container, roll it up, and throw it away....then tape a new sheet down. It's been working quite well!
