Hi, Does this picture look like it was painted with mercurichrome? Does anyone even use that stuff anymore (for little skin scrapes and scratches)? It's a little embarrassing to post these intermediate stages here for the world to laugh at.  (Or at least those special folks who check into this blog regularly.) But I know others are curious. I know I am always fascinated by watching others paint. Anyhow, we are at that "how did I go so wrong?" stage: it happens every time, no matter the final outcome. If anyone has any questions or comments, you can post them here without registering or joining anything. Just click on "comments" below. Thanks for stopping by, Carol
