Stopping Just Short of Too Late
Done. As I had pondered yesterday, I deepened the foreground grass just a bit, and also tried to
add a little more contrast between the clouds and sky. The addition is subtle (yesterday’s phase is shown at left so you can compare),
and I probably could have kept going (although the paper is limited in terms of
how much pigment the surface can hold), but I was afraid I would get carried
away, and then there’s no turning back. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from sketching,
it’s that it’s almost always better to stop a bit too soon than to go too far
and regret it.
