Progress of a painting

This week's post is going to be more visual than textual. I recently completed a painting, and I documented the progress that I made with each wash. I work mostly with watercolor these days, and before I added each layer I photographed the previous layer when it was dry. I was surprised to learn that, for this image, I only went over it eight times. I would have thought it was more.
