Pressure Scales

Progress so far on black and white pressure scales, one layer of paint on these so far. Today was tough; I felt as if I’d never painted before. Still having some problems with coverage, though things were made easier in some ways by omitting medium on today’s batch. But it’s difficult dealing with transparency - though I’d forgotten what I’d learnt on the red ones above, namely stippling as a way of handling that. I’m kind of trying different things out on each gradation, i.e. brushes and modes of application. I’m hoping that once I find the right combination of applications they will settle down a bit and not look so tortured. Anyway, no pain no gain…!
