Rejoining RE and DE

I have the base layer finished for both RE 10 and DE 12.


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.
