Overall Thoughts
This time I remembered to check the edges of the different shades. Also, I like how the left side of the box turned out. And the dent on the back of the swan looks quite realistic, too.

Total time spent:
- 3:30-4:30+: sketch
- 4:30-8:30: paint
If I were to start this painting over right now, what would I do differently?
- Double check for white dots on the background
- Double check sketch with photo before painting (the swan neck shadow was a bit crooked)
- Keep double checking the photo/sketch while painting (the rose came out funky)
- The line where the box meets the table is a bit odd too…not sure how to fix that…blend more? Make the straightedge straighter? Use a #2 brush instead of the #6?
- Be more systematic (use the checklist!)
- Give myself more time. 6-7 hours, really.
- The shading on the middle part of the swan is a little bit odd looking. Could have done that better/cleaned it up a bit.
Day 1
- Took a bit over an hour to do the initial sketch. Was really tricky trying to get that swan right. Maybe I chose a unit of one that was too small.
