Camelia on Clayboard- finished (finally)

I finished this little painting last night- that's 3 evenings of "daily" painting if you are counting. Clayboard just takes longer for me to build up the depth of color. 6x6 inches.

Camelia on Day 2

I swear I worked on this for at least 4 hours last night. American Idol was on, then the news, then something on E . . . Before I knew it, it was 12:30.

Clayboard gets much lighter as it dries. What seemed close to correct last night, needs more glazes this morning. You really have to overpaint it to compensate for this fact.

It also doesn't help that I am painting at night, in a room with dark paneling, with not the best lighting (too yellow).
