[229]

I wanted to practice painting material caked onto a surface. 
Things learned: the shadows are a lot darker than you think they are. In ambient/overcast lighting, it's particularly important to reserve the whitest whites for highlights. Everything else should start much more subdued. Even the whites I used here aren't white white. The paper underneath looked bright and glowy, but when I painted that, it was popping out way to much. Subduing it helps make the paint globs stand out.
