“Starting from Sketch”
Each painting begins with a light pencil sketch which I refine and erase until I can barely see it. I then paint a light under painting using just a single neutral color. This helps me keep my bearings when I go in later for the detail work. Here are a few pictures and a video of “Piece of the Action” coming together.
