I decided that the #6 of these gradations usually came out too faint to bother with (as in enough color to look like a stained rag), so I only did 5-part gradations this round.

This time, I stuffed and dumped and kept from mashing the fabric around much. The bark came out with some dramatic mottling. Very nice!

Gun Metal Gray looked almost black in the cups, but washed up to more of a stoney/mossy green.
