Pauland,
I find the same thing. Usually I get close to finnishing and when I check through the layers I see that the picture is 'over done'. The Picture of Genevieve, "The English Rose" did have at one time full features, and skin tone, but when I was viewing the layers it became so much more powerful with only
two layers, and it allowed my mind to fill in the blanks.
Thanks for the comments
Hugh
