Here are a couple more, the incomplete one is after 3 hours into a two session open studio. The other one is 2.5 hours. Both were painted directly without an underdrawing or painting. I was having too much trouble with layering of brushstrokes where they blend and muddy up unexpectedly, so decided to try to paint cleanly and directly. It was a bit tiring to evaluate each brush stroke (ended up sacrificing edge quality and variety)..

I might have to try to use some kind of a wax medium to help with the layering a bit (or maybe use egg on the top layer). This might allow me more control.. or maybe it is just that I need to get more experience to figure out how to load brushes so that wet layering is more well behaved.
