Once I have my old color-wheel, I'm good to go!
I didn't misplace it, because I use it in my silk painting too.
I'd be lost without it.
This is how I like to set-up my paint area. All neat and tidy.For those of you that like to read things in the correct order,
Here is the photograph I chose to go with. One of over 300 that I took at the beautiful Frey Vineyards. I'm saving my favorite for last. Like dessert. Well, I'm lying here. Sometimes I have dessert first. So... never mind.
First I did a quick pencil sketch on my nice, new canvas.
Then I outlined the sketch in acrylic. While I was doing that, I remembered that I usually began with this step, instead of sketching it in with pencil first. It's been fourteen years since I did an easel-painting, so I have an excuse!
The outline/sketch is finished - and now comes the fun part.
I always love the look of the colors on the palette.
After a few hours, the palette is full...
And I'm getting tired of painting. (It happens.)
It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.
here is "For The Love Of Art: Part One." But come back now, ya hear?!

The outline/sketch is finished - and now comes the fun part.I consider this the underpainting. Just getting some of the main colors down.
I always love the look of the colors on the palette.

And I'm getting tired of painting. (It happens.) Tomorrow's another day.
I'll be refreshed and ready to paint some more on the left side, and then on to the best part - the finishing touches! The highlights, the shadows and the fun colors. Yum!!
It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.Until the next time ~
There are SO many things to love!
I love "Followers" and comments too!
(Thank you.)
Signing off for now,

I feel privileged to be inside a working artists head as she does her art. In the world of "So many things to love" I love this. Glimpsing a world I'd have no way to know about otherwise. Thanks. And I love the finished (so far) painting.
