I think the ammonites are coming along very nicely! I applied more fixative after last time and spent my time today sticking with the details. I applied more black to the darkest areas and added some white to give some high-lights. I applied more fixative after. I can honestly say that this project has used the most fixative of any other one I've done! I think I will work on the background next time. I want to do a varied/graded dark background to enhance the shape and colours of the ammonites. I've never done it before, so I'm really hoping I can pull it off :)
Hmm. I'm not sure if you can see this at all! Since I still had some time and I was waiting for the fixative to dry anyway, I thought I'd start laying out my poppy painting. The above is supposed to be a line drawing of the 2 flowers. I also started lining up the shadows in the petals. We'll see how well I can follow it after my first wash :D
