Yea--the final step! I think, anyway. As you can see I killed some of the highlights and generally brought the tone of the entire piece down a notch (it was too light in hue overall.) I may need to bring it down another notch but at this point I'm going to leave it be, live with it for awhile, then see if anything is still bugging me about the final composition. If so, I'll try and fix it, if not, we'll call it done. This is a little-known but well-used part of the creative process for artists: the "can I live with that?" stage!
I will post my encaustics for your perusal tomorrow. Until then, get out there and paint something!
