Jars in the Window ~ 10th Print Layer ~ split color

I had hoped to see this print complete after this print run. The print is finished when the printer is  satisfied, or, a mistake has been made. It will be notices that the overall color below the window is different, more neutral (less blue) than the wood area above and to the right of the window. This wasn't happenstance. I directed it with subsequent additions of color during each printing to enhance and strengthen areas that needed it to my eye.

Black was added to the wood outside the window, as well as the outside window frame. A light yellowish color remains on that area, as that is the dichromate stain, which will be reduced considerably, leaving a more neutral color that will appear as detail when it's done. I also added a shear layer of Cadmium Yellow over the jars and their lids to pull out more color to that area, shifting it towards a more natural color for a jar with peaches. The final touch of color will be added to the foliage in the background, still light, and not separated from the roof line.
