Consolidated what I learned in the second class here. Thank you, Jun-Pierre! I have a lot to learn about washes--especially generating an even wash with the darker tones.

Loved Jun-Pierre Shiozawa's class about negative painting. I think I've figured it out!

I’m really enjoying getting back to the basics with this course! Jun-Pierre is very knowledgeable, and I am learning a lot. This is from Class #2 - Landscape wash with layered glazes.
