Soot experiment 3 final... Soot to kill!

After the third layer, having fumbled the ball with my soot underpainting, I decided to go full blast with way more paint...

Not surprisingly, I ended up with something else relative to what I had in mind. I haven't given up on soot yet since I saw its potential at step two. A few days ago, I bought some walnut stain (brou de noix) to see what kind of underpainting I could get with that. These days, it seems as if the rebel in me is coming out with more ideas not to use paint.... in my painting process!

Note: I think I will call this painting "deception"...
