Hard at it
I’m continuing to work on this piece — only had a few hours today because I transported Rosie and Annabelle to their “ride north” this morning. You’ll notice in the top left corner, I”m cutting into the wax, preparing to put the shadows on the brick wall.
My rough plan is on tracing paper. It’s basically a cartoon with placement of the largest shapes. The last thing to go into this composition will be a fire escape - which is the closest thing to the viewer.
I love the wax medium in the pans — much like with watercolor, I mix on the piece as I paint and the colors on the wax piece are a combination of what is here. I never try to mix exactly what I want on the palette — being too intentional never seems to work for me.
