It always amuses me to hear painters talking about taking risks (myself included). Its just a painting, you are not putting your life on the line. At the end of yesterdays session I felt the painting was dying on me. This morning I through a metaphorical grenade at it and decided to deal with the debris. The strongest and lightest tone in the picture is the centre yellow field, so I mixed a high contrast tone with the intention of not modifying it but bringing up the rest of the picture with it. Well it worked, I also had a great deal of fun with it and am happy to say the painting is back on track. Only slightly annoying issue is I had intended to paint in the bright green band of bare paint. I shall target that next time.
