Michael - Step 2

Filling the Canvas and Avoiding Surprises.

After getting the features in place, the next step here was to establish basic local colors.  Since the appearance of a color is affected by the colors around it, I wanted to fill the canvas with the basic big colors - in this case, the brown of the shadow of the face, and the light green of the background (actually you might call it a seafoam green, if you look at it under the right light bulbs).
