Before I start the next round of imagery, I need to haze out and subdue the base layer with a wash of thin white paint.
Here is a close up of the carved wood blocks which represent the conceptual heart of the piece.
After the white haze has dried, I start adding the line work for the next layer.
Check in and see how things are going. Since I have decided to make these two panels go together (a diptych), I need to frequently look at them side-by-side to make sure they develop in some cohesive fashion.
A few detail shots....
Look at them together again after I have added some more imagery......
A few areas probably will get a little more line work/imagery, but I want to start filling in colors to see how much denser I need to make the image.
Mix together some colors for the next layer. These won't be all of the colors I use, but they will be the majority of the colors for the second layer.
Time to start laying done some paint.
My trusty piece of cardboard.....
Getting closer....
Getting even closer.....
I need to let this dry for a few days before I dive back in and add a few more areas of activity.
