Another progress image.
I had someone ask why I didn't wait until the painting was almost done before adding the darks. She said that she was taught to always go from light to dark. I do work light to dark, however, I need to know how dark the middle values need to be as I progress. By adding the strongest darks early in the painting process, I then can determine just how dark those in-between values need to be.
