    It’s so kind of you to think about my desire to get a softer look with my drawing and also to take the time to help me understand what I’m doing wrong! I will definitely try to build up my layers more slowly and with less pressure. I know I was building up dark sepia too fast and with too much pressure and I’ve tamed that beast! 🙂 I probably need to try doing the same with the other colors. I was also using verithins for my second burnishing and that made my colors more vibrant but my goal is softer not brighter. Vern helped me with that one! I have a bit to go to finish up a surprise lily and then will try your techniques on my next go around. Thanks again! I’m not feeling quite so discouraged this week and that’s a great thing!
      • That’s great! You should not feel discouraged at all! You are already doing great work.
