I went to bed late, and got up WAY TOO EARLY.

I thought I might do a bit more on my little sketch.

The thing about doing a study, is I realize what I did wrong, what I need to do next time, and try some different things.

I found I need to do an underpainting FIRST. And then make sure I use a ruler.

So, I will know what I want to do for a huge painting next time.

I have been thinking about looking for some MASSIVE sheets of paper, I think it would be so much fun to make a bigger painting than 20×16″. I’m going to check it out online. I was even thinking of using something I haven’t used before, Ampersand. I’ve seen Ampersand “Pastelbord” and “Claybord”.  I have heard some oil painters say they will not use the claybord but I think it would be ok for pastels.

I don’t know, but I will try it.

Here is the next step on my sketch.

 

My last post I was off to bed.

This post I am off to work!

Thanks for dropping by, I will try to do some painting this evening 🙂

Ciao for now!
