I've had an idea for a new painting for quite awhile and it has been slowly coming together both in my head as well as the design being drawn on the canvas.
The size of this canvas is 60 inches tall by 42 1/4 inches wide. I stretched the canvas and have been slowly working out the design, changing certain aspects as I go. Even though I have a good image in my head, sometimes the actual supplies I have on hand are slightly different which changes the size and thus the composition. I am working from a photograph of the pose and have to change certain aspects because a photograph tends to flatten the image and I am drawing and redrawing to create more depth of the figure and surrounding space.
Fun to show the initial aspects of getting the design on the canvas before starting the painting.
