Been pretty busy outdoors, the weather having been as nice as it has. But I've been making sure to get as much time as I can in on this. And in doing so, I've crossed at last that most elusive of thresholds and gotten some paint on the canvas. This is so very exciting.
Above is the canvas, having finally been completely inked. I had some bugs to work out with the figures, which is what took most of that time. Well, I worked them out after two nights of serious figuring. And this afternoon when it was all done I started my tonal, in Burnt Umber and Titanium. I'm burning through paint at a terrifying rate; the size of the canvas (42" X 24") dictates that, I suppose. At this rate I may have to take out a mortgage to finish the thing...
So there's the beginning of something. Who's to say whether or not it's something great? But it sure as hell is something. And that's gotta be good for something. Or something.
Okay, I'm going to kill some cosmic ducks now.
