Description
I think this will be my last iteration of this subject for awhile. Iteration 4 helped me visualize my goal better, and iteration 5 helped me understand how I needed to organize my values to create the sense of depth.

This painting had me running up against my limits as a painter. I am confident in my abilities to work in black and white, but my sense of color has always lacked subtlety. Typically I get away with that by leaning into it. I enjoy using bright saturated colors, and know how to make them appealing. I really struggle with naturalistic colors and keeping the tone consistent.

For that reason, I'm frustrated because this painting isn't what I wanted it to be, but also content because its the best I am able to do right now.
