Wow, Julie, what a sweet thing to say. Thank you. And I will look up that reducing lens and see if I can find something a little more local. Janet

The problem lies in having too great a value range in any given area, as other artists have mentioned. You can really see it with this posterized Photoshop greyscale comparison. The photo, on the left, shows larger simpler areas of dark, medium and light values. The painting, on the right, shows those same areas broken up into too many value changes where they don't exist.
Moving back as you work, using a mirror, or perhaps that reducing gadget may help.

Thanks Michele. I've actually got this painting going again in the WIP. Sort of boring, I suppose, but it's to give people a chance to prevent me making mistakes, rather than giving post-mortems! I'd love your input, and by the way I'm attempting to be very strict with my value this time. Janet
