Finally nailed the hepatic portal vein after four revisions
A surgeon kept asking for 'more red' on the portal vein, and I finally understood he meant the oxygenated blood should tint the surrounding tissue slightly. It took three rounds of watercolour tests before I got that subtle flush. Little victories like this keep me tethered to the physical brush.

Four revisions for a flush — that's the kind of detail that makes me slow down and look closer at my own work. There's a particular glint on a steel cable at sunset that took me years to not just dismiss as glare.
