First things first.
When I decided to paint this nostalgic piece, I looked through my excess paper "scraps" (as you may remember from my previous newsletter, I tear my paper to whatever size I need at the time, leaving odd-shaped excess pieces).
I found a sheet of 18" x 10" Arches 300lb cold pressed paper, and though it was too tall, I decided not to tear off the excess few inches right away. Maybe it would be useful to me in some way.
I began with my usual playful first layer. After establishing the features, I began to establish values with random and local color. |
