Here is the beginning of a new painting. After fixing the pencil drawing with ink, I covered the surface with broad color areas. The goal of this initial layer is to cover the entire surface with local colors. The drawing took several days but I did the laying-in in a single day.

Next, I’ll rework the entire surface strengthening the drawing. The 42″ x 56″ painting is titled Picnic.
