I created a lost edge by painting the jug a little darker; this means that the right-hand edge of the jug merges more with the background as the tones are closer. On the left-hand side there is more contrast between the jug and the background. Step 18 Finally, adjust the tonal values on the right-hand flowers for balance. 2 Continue to work across the jug, adding in darker tones where you think they might be needed, softening them with water here and there to add variety and depth.
