Well, this is where I completely misinterpreted the course material! I simply painted in various tones of my Indigo - without actually creating build up of layers. When I had finished the painting I was generally unhappy with the result - it does not have the softness of tone I was hoping to see......so I read and re-read again the exercise details, and realised I needed to be applying washes over my page, and using softer layers and gradually building the tone - otherwise what was the point of the initial 4cm strips exercise?!, I felt though that this should be included in my learning log as this demonstrates that we learn from our mistakes!
