1:55 PM: I felt that the tan in the bottom portion of the painting needed to be broken up a little, so I introduced some white & a trace of yellow. as well, I added the faint siena parallel vertical lines mimicking the threads occurring in the the silk fabric of the original taiga scrolls.
and that may be it for kwazu no shosa., which I consider one of the finest in the series thus far. I may launch into a new one tomorrow, for which the canvas is already stretched.
