| Here's the finished 8" by 10" color study. Notice especially how I've tried tying the light pattern together to make an interesting design moving all the way from the left of the canvas to the right side. |

| The larger painting will be 24" by 30". Here I've carefully sketched in the larger shapes with some charcoal to make certain that I get the composition exactly the way I want it. As you saw with the color sketch, I rarely do any drawing on a smaller painting, but on something larger it can be easy to get caught up in a small area and make it too large or small, which will throw off the rest of the painting's proportions when you get to them. I could block in the larger shapes at the beginning to keep this from happening, but on something like this I don't want to put paint down in areas that I won't get to for a couple of days since I'd end up struggling with the problem of working over dry paint. |
