Yoga pose VI - step IV... going for hyper-saturation... but not by design!

For some reason with this one, I seem to have discarded titanium white for the most part (favouring modeling paste as whitener instead) except for the creation of highlights...

If I can put a few more nuances in the midtones without losing this high color saturation effect, I will have made a step towards modernity! Trying new techniques can be scary: at the early stage, everything seems so suboptimal!

Note to self: "I suddenly see an advantage in having different sets of transparent primaries going from weak to strong, using them all in the same painting in an attempt to reduce dependency on white and get closer to my watercolors!"
