July 15th a new idea popped into my head. An old city a la Venice with a canal at dusk. So I started with a little sketch (about 10x15cm) the next day I used tracing paper as big as my canvas 40x50cm and drew something similar to the sketch. Afterwards I traced the whole drawing onto my canvas. Yesterday I started with very watered down acrylics to get a feeling about the mood of the painting….the sun setting in the harbor behind the city’s wall. Today the first very thin layer with oils followed. It is still very far from the image in my head and the whole thing looks very sketchy but I hope you all like the idea of following the process.
that is splendid, Jacqueline. looking eagerly forward to seeing the final result. i will never be able to do something like this, too intricate for my simple mind and limited skills. maybe in another hundred years i will grow up to be like you. aces!
Jacqueline, I can not help but admire your process and the talent and work you put into this.
The pen sketch is a standalone piece itself.
My understanding is that you created the image, and not working from a photo reference. That is stunning!
Looking forward to the next steps.
@jacqbb I agree with all the others especially @monikozi about the sketch. It is fabulous to see the work in progress andI am eagerly looking forward to the finished product
