In this simple still life painting I am building up the tonal contrasts using multiple layers of the same watercolour mix. I think tonal range achieved here is greater than the painting performed in the single layer exercise. This is due to the fact that you are assessing then painting when dry before deciding if and where to apply anther layer of the same wash.
In this painting I think the tonal values of the cups is more consistent, and am happy with the way the scissors have turned out given that I was using a large brush focusing on tones rater than detail. Will not mention the quality of the ellipses used when drawing the cups...bottom of cup in foreground not to clever, but wider ellipse of the top of this cup helps give the picture depth.
