Zebra Painting Step 4: Checking the Composition

Using Paynes's grey, I went over the whole composition again, redefining and strengthening the shapes of the zebra, and the water. I also put in a very thin glaze in the top right-hand area -- you can't really see this in the photo -- because I didn't want to leave the canvas bare.
