some experiments

Been experimenting with new ways of doing things recently-taking time to fail! What I've learned has to do with layers and painting underneath stuff.
1. painting edge indication and then gradient and textures underneath-

2.painting on watercolor

3.doing simple gradients in a selection and then doing textures underneath

4. sortof like pointillism, very gradually trying to influence the image into reading with small shapes and textures-also some glazes. trying to keep the texture reading through for as long as possible before covering it up.
