So I came to a decision - I'm going to do the orange picture of the dolphin alone first. The decision is based on both liking the content of the picture a little more than the other (although I'm still slightly more taken by the colour scheme of the other), but also because when I looked at the details, this one looks like it might make a good practice piece for the other one as there are lots of lines of colours but with little depth to the lines - this one seems to have some areas of bulk colouring and some of the lines, whereas even more of the other one is the small areas, so I'll let this one act as an opportunity to practise my techniques and try a couple of things out to see which are practical and which cause me more difficulty. Once I made a decision, I've then ordered the colours on line which took a good while - however bonus discovery, not only were they selling according to the website for 1p less than RRP but this is 50p less than I paid locally the other day for the ones I needed to finish the one I'm working on at the moment. That's almost a 1/3 of the price!
Having done that, I'm probably not going to get any work done on the current project tonight. Still it wasn't unproductive - just preparation rather than production. Now an added incentive to stick with progress in the coming days.
