In blank
Preparing the canvas. I like this part of the process. When everything is new and white and ready for whatever I want to do. But it's also a very scary part. The canvas are so perfect that way you may get afraid of ruining them. So that's what I do. I just can't seem to make a perfect sketch... I just draw and draw and draw on it until I like what I see (believe me, I know which one of all those marks are the ones... but for the example I mark them on red).
Once the canvas is on this condition, I'm not afraid anymore. There's nothing to ruin there. I can paint freely and happily, with no hesitation (just lots of paint to cover the mess!).
And for the ones who asked, this is the final painting:

Shelly, I use several layers of paint. Specially if it's a light color. It usually does the trick. But it it doesn't I find them interesting :)

I make a mess too. I have pencils that won't smear, but no, I like to sketch with the ones that make the biggest mess. :0
Can't wait to see this finished. :)

I LOVE your artworks... and i can relate to this one! I just recently blogged about how I am afraid of paints (one of the reason is that I don't want to ruin the perfect canvas/surface that i am gonna paint on), plus i am a messy sketcher too... But seeing your photos really inspired me. I am definately gonna try to paint again... *-*
it speaks to me
and brightens my
