This is another sketch to be considered for a large commission.
Working small allows
for experimentation and play. I have been changing /testing mediums (I like to
make my own) as well as underpainting with cold wax and a lovely orange/red by
Kama pigment.
Of course, what is underneath affects the work, so thinking
through an idea helps, although often when I prepare surfaces, the physical process
sparks the idea. I like the push-pull of planning and spontaneity.
