Two for Tea



I'm continuing my watercolor practice. Last night while I sipped on the tea inside this cup, I sketched two versions of the cup ... one with more intense shadows than the other (my intention was to get the shadows on the saucer since the light came from overhead).

The scan is much brighter than the painting; my scanner really brightens the white of the watercolor paper and thus the subtle shadings don't show in the scan as they do in real life. I've tried fixing this in PhotoShop -- but no luck thusfar.
