Now it's time for a 2nd one.

Is it good? Not really, no.

Is it better than the first one? I really cannot say.

Is it different? HELL YES.

In between these two I've learnt about:

-color families

-color integration and contrast

-color tones (well, I say i've learnt this but I'm totally tone bling, apparently. I've repeated the tone exercise so many times I could cry)

Plus I've processed as much information about the impressionists and post impressionists (specially about Toulouse Lautrec) as I've been able to. (Is there a certain, very light Opie-ism about it too?)

And please let me say this: it is the first time, ever, that I paint without even sketching a line. This has all been done without photographs or drawing support. Mirror and brush that's all. That, I like.
