How do you like my new look? I go to post and found myself playing with the new templates. I liked another look and might try it out also. I just have to say that I love the new options! Thanks Blogger.
I started a drawing to prepare for a painting that I wanted to do. I began my drawing like I always do. Sadly, I soon found myself drowning in all the lines. I was feeling the pressure to make sure the perspective was on point since I had just listened to Greg Albert talk about how simple working with perspectives were at the GCWS meeting (see last post). My mistake was that I was trying to do the drawing at my dining room table and not in my basement studio. The light there is so much better, but my architecture drawing table is in the studio. So when I felt myself struggling...off to the basement I headed.
Now that it is on the drawing table, the lines are starting to make more sense. DUH... I knew that is how I should have done it from the beginning, but I always try to get in a hurry to get to the paint.
A few more hours in finishing the drawing then I can get my brushes wet. :-)
How do you begin your paintings? Do you do a detailed sketched? Or a quick sketch? Or do you just take the brush to paper/canvas?
