Hi,
I'm new to the forums, so hopefully I've posted this in the right place. I'm in the middle of a picture and I can't quite decide how to proceed and I'm hoping some feedback/critique will help. Here's the picture:

This is mostly watercolor with some pencil. I want to put this guy in shade with some dappled sunlight. (I've never tried to paint dappled sunlight before, which is one of the reasons why I'm pausing.) I think that I'll need to do a wash of blue over everything to make it look more like he's in the shade. I'm also worried that the tub is starting to look like it's floating.

I'm really liking how this picture has turned out so far and am afraid of screwing it up. Please help me not do that.

(Side note, is there a forum tutorial/intro that I can look at, so far I'm finding the forum a little overwhelming.)
