into the foreground stippling of gravel, which is taking seemingly forever to cover the area...

it is hard on my damaged wrist, actually, as am having to turn the hand more left/vertical to achieve the angle needed (besides which am much more used to laying the hand/arm on the drafting table instead of holding all upright on the vertical)...

moving along... slow, because am not used to holding the brush to work on an easel, as used to hold brushes and pens on a sloping drafting table by resting the arm on the table... so is taking a bit of time to adjust to the once used form from long ago...

further wiping and adding in with pencil of the bonsai table and a rock garden below steps -

am not worried over the slight seen thru of old paint, as it will all be buried when new paint is laid on top...
