And So It Begins...

This may look like scribbles but it is actually the beginning of the large diptych mentioned a few blogs ago.  The canvas is 60" x 48", the subject is Tahoe Rocks depicted above and below the surface.  This is the bottom, or lower,  canvas.

After applying a coat of black gesso to the canvas I sketch in the outlines for the rocks with a bit of titanium white, thinned so there will not be ridges.  These lines give me a guide when I begin to paint.

After selecting my color palatte, I begin applying the paint to canvas and get lost in the process.  Come back to the blog to watch the progress of this painting.
