Bag It

Working with the timer on before work forced me to quickly choose which shapes were important, which ones really defined the bag. When I stepped backed, I realized that the interior of the bag was way too dark. I remembered that if you get the values right, it will read correctly no matter what color you use. I scraped off the dark interior before I laid on the lighter value, as the interior of the bag was not an area I wanted to build up with paint application. The shadow was also too dark, hmm. I am trying to learn, and remember which things are a consistent issue with me, so I can watch for them. This painting is Day 11 of the Lesllie Saeta challenge.
