For yesterday's class I began painting my image. At first I was rather overzealous and painted the entire background in one go. However, the colour was too dark so I started over. I was advised to take a slower approach, by observing individual areas and to mix colours for that specific region. It's a slow process, but once you get the right colours it's quite rewarding.

The pictures below show me trying to mix the correct colours. The left image shows colour swatches which I hold up next to the reference image to give me an idea if I am getting the right colour.
