On this piece on you can see the differences in the background in regards to glazing. The bottom middle right has more glazing and if you go counter clockwise the glazing reduces to none on the left side. The glazing adds depth and unifies the color. I have more glazing and some darks to add to this background.
In class on both pieces I worked more on shadows, lifting highlights, adding details and glazing. Most of the time towards the end of the process artwork needs value work, especially darks as well as shadows and highlights. It also needs detailing. Spend time looking at your work from a close distance and from a further away distance. Make changes as needed to areas that are not working.
Both pieces are works in progress and have unfinished areas (the nature of demonstrating). These need to be finshed, refined, and detailed.
