Lovely Darks

I knew I wanted to create a painting when I first saw, some time ago, such a cute fox cub photo shared by Sheila Metcalf Dunn for artists to use for reference. I took my time in deciding how I would use it but Sunday was the day its turn had arrived. I wanted to use some colours for the darks that I have but not used very much. It was also a good opportunity to do some testing swatches of these providing me with useful information that I could add to the wash a week challenge blog too. This weekly challenge finishes at the end of the year and I have just 5 more posts to do. It has been an extra commitment in what has been my busiest year but I have discovered so much from experimenting and writing for the blog posts.

My rich darks are from Bloodstone Genuine, Perylene Maroon, Paynes Gray.
