Thank you for your comments! I usually draw on white paper without any prior wash and for this time I did an initial wash before putting down any drawing. It might be a small change, but for someone like me who can be quite set in my ways, this initial wash disengaged me from my usual painting process and forced me to choose my subsequent colors wisely. It also stopped me from defaulting to my usual reaction and painting it in black, exactly as I see in the reference photo. In a way, it helped me to get out of my set way. I hope that makes sense.
Love your color combos on this one and how you blended your colors
Thank you so much. Glad that you like it!
What did you do to “get out of your own way”? It’s a lovely painting however, I’m not sure what you did differently.

@@UniquelyChie Thank you for that in-depth explanation. I absolutely can relate to doing things differently in order to grow.
