"What I’ve
done here is applied the under-painting of the back of the couch;
basically mid-tones only. The uneven, uncertain look of things right now
is deliberate. There are elements I’ve painted in that will virtually
disappear into the darkening glaze I will apply increasingly from the left
to the right. I do this, rather then taking the short-cut of applying
uniform dark, so that even the dark areas will contain a subliminal
interest as well. The tone will also be harmonized with the self-same
“amber glaze” I mentioned earlier. If you allow enough range of color
throughout your canvas, a harmonizing glaze across all, as a final
step, can be really effective, without harming any of your original
layers. I love the effect, but that will come later.
Tomorrow, the arm of the couch, and the cushions.".
