In this exercise I am applying the tones paint in single mixing up the watercolour before applying it to the paper, the hardest part is knowing whether the watercolour will leave you with the tones you wanted once dried. Knowing that watercolour dries lighter I still find it hard to judge how lighter the dried paint will be.
In the following simple still life I think the cups have been defined successfully relying more on the change in tones than the quality of the drawing. There is a sense of depth and direction of the light source in this picture.
Left hand cup could do with some darker tones to match the other cups and not sure that the chair slats behind the cups reflect any form could possibly read as stripped wall paper...either way I think they help the composition.
