I had a totally different plan for an art project today. Here's what I'd planned on doing. I'd bought a cute canvas bag and I had every intention of going all crazy and painting. After staring at it seemingly endlessly last night I decided that I'd dye it light gray and then paint it with white and black. But this morning as I was stirring it in the dye filled sink I started loving the color it was becoming. This sort of thing happens to me all the time. I fall in love with backgrounds and have the hardest time painting over them. But, hey, a gray handbag...yay! So I'll love it for a while and when it lets me know it's ready for a facelift I'll get right on it.
So for now, I started in on this painting.
 |
I had leftover paint from painting my apron
so I used it to lay down a background.
Waste not want not, after all. |

| I sketched out the beginnings of a figure. |
 |
I decided that I didn't want her to have a raised
arm so I erased it. I also added hair. |
 |
I painted a layer of white where her skin is
so that I'll be able to start laying down color. |
