This was my first attempt with this class, and I am pretty pleased with the results. I was a little challenged with the shadows, and did not want to overwork, so I tried to keep those areas looser and I think they turned out OK. My eye stands out more than the photo as, again, I did not want to lose my "ring" area. I will probably paint this one again and again as it is great practice with so many techniques and it is fun too! Thank you, Paul, for another great watercolor class. I look forward to even more of your classes!
