I'm trying to convince myself that I like the new technique we started learning last week: silk shading. It's so tiny, ridiculously small, which means it takes forever, and then the finished piece is just ... flat. I know, the whole point is to create light and dark through shading, but it just does nothing for me. I have consoled myself by choosing colours I like for this exercise (inspired by agave and echeveria plants), but I'm still not sure it makes up for the fact it took a day and a half.
