| | Step Ten Here I start blocking in the hand and arm, starting with the large shapes first and measuring, measuring, measuring! | |  | |  | |
| | Step Eleven Getting into details in the hand and deciding to go with a lighter color for the shirt. | |  | |  | |
| | Step Twelve To make sure I get the left arm right, I take a few measurements and sketch in with my brush a few main shapes. | |  | |  | |
| | Step Thirteen Once again, just slowly going from one shape to the next, fitting in each puzzle piece of the subject. I'm not thinking any differently when paining a tree, arm, or eye -- they're all just abstract shapes, of a certain value and color, in a precise place. | |  | |  | |
| | Step Fourteen Using some mineral spirits, I think down the paint and wash in some colors to go behind the bamboo on the left. This is mainly just to kill down the white so I won't be struggling to paint in between all the vertical shapes of the bamboo later on. | |  | |  | |
| | Step Fifteen Changed my mind; I think the girl's shirt was better the darker red, after all! | |  | |  | |
| | Step Sixteen Here's the final painting. | |  | |  | |
