Shadowing and details
Usually, I do the background first, and so avoid worrying about bringing the background up to the subject, but decided to start with the subject instead this time. Consequently, am forced to prepare a border the water will come up to when painting the background. The canoe has been further developed, the fur bundle lengthened, red blanket turned into a fur (not happy with the change, but it is better) and the trapper given features. Not happy with the jacket cuffs either...such is the life of an evolving painting lol.

Thanks Melissa! Hugging Painting really helps center me - after the frustration ends when it's finished hahaha I almost ruined this thing when I put the back ground on.....a wet sponge and a bucket of water were the only thing that saved it from total destruction.
