Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.517

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be starting a new project. The photo I am using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 10 by 10 inch gallery-wrapped canvas.

If you've been here for a while you might have seen this one before. It was my project last summer on a tiny 4x4 inch canvas. The intent at that time was to see if I could actually get this on such a small canvas. I did but nuance was not in great abundance. Now I'm going to revisit it and use colors of a rather primary nature. Adjustments will be made as needed.

I started with a pencil sketch using my now customary grid for placement purposes. This system has worked very well for me. Some blue paint went on the edges because I invariably leave small spots of white at the edges. Next week I will pattern and color for you.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

I'll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
