all but the varnish

all but the varnish!

I finally finished outlining at about 11:10pm last night. Tomorrow I will start what I call "finessing", which means completely going over thw whole painting again to make sure every single line is complete and connected.

Especially with aspens, when I start to outline I have to tape off areas in order to make sure I don't miss things. Also I have to get up and walk away after awhile because my eyes don't focus anymore.
