I refined the foreground area a little more and, having completed the bottle itself, decided that the background did not need to go any darker. I also decided not to saturate the paper with colour, I prefer the 'grainy' look. This has been a case of 'softly, softly' pencil strokes, a constant process of adjusting colours and values across the whole image until I'm happy with it. And, guess what? I'm happy with it!

Beautiful work! I love seeing all of the grain of the paper showing through. Great color choices - the piece has a nice feel to it.
Thank you Shawn, I think the tinted sanded paper helps with the feel, it kind of gives you a head start when you start to apply colours.
