Lessons Learned:This is was my first painting after a very long artistic dry spell. While I didn't learn anything new technically, this was my first stepping stone in starting this series and regaining confidence. It's an old lesson, but probably the most important: just pick up your pencil/stylus and get to work, dammit!
