Black Cherry Pearl

8 x 10

Another 17 1/2 hours later and another layer.  I really thought the second layer would take less time than the first but there were still a lot of details to keep an eye on.  It's taking shape quite nicely now.  Let's see if the next layer will be any quicker.

Starting a new commission now that the move and the holidays are over.  Finally I managed to get all the undertone color layer done without impatiently moving on to see what the final look will be in just one area. Normally I work a section to completion before moving on. I want to gauge how long it takes me to do a layer (this one took 16 hrs.) Plus I will be printing each layer so I can keep an accurate log of colors I use.  Sometimes I get a good effect but can't remember the colors I used and how I layered them.
