Work in Progress animation of "Aria"

Over the past few weeks I have been working many hours to complete my most recent work, "Aria".  I captured the art in stages so that we can take a look at how it was created.  Here is an animation of that process (please click on the image if it's not working):

There are a few stages missing from this animation when it comes to coloring the parrot tulips, pear and red bottle due to the repetition of layering.  I would estimate that they each have about 5 or 6 layers of color (with scratching in-between). I find that creating a saturated red in scratchboard is very challenging.
