I have a new set up! Thank you
Paul Foxton! I've created my own Munsell-style value scale and started using a cardboard square (picture mat) to frame my setup while I'm painting. It's helping a LOT! I'm able to see the setup a lot more clearly just from the initial sketch, and that in turn makes the values able to be pinned down a bit more easily.
Of course, some things haven't changed. I'm still working too wet with the paint and as a result I'm rubbing out all of my values until they're, as so eloquently put by my children, just "making a gray blob painting". So now, before I can move onto painting these 2 in color, I have to go back and correct values. Well, values . . . (sigh) . . . and ellipses.
