Once again I’m reminded that Alizarin Crimson is a cruel lover when painting directly.  I was able to overcome the transparency of the pigment, but the lower reflected lights came out a little hot-pink and a little to bright in value. Welp… I have half a bag of cherries left so we’ll see what happens next time.
