Lets put on the paint



My Palette.  I love seeing other artist's palettes. Sometimes I think they get that from those colors. Its all very mystifying 
This becomes my first lay in of Paint.  If you remember my sketch you will see that I have
placed these abstract shapes where I want the painting to develop and in what areas.  This is a very time consuming process as I then scrap off the color.  Save the paint as no paint get wasted in this part and let this dry.  This takes usually anywhere from a day to a week, depending on the  size of the canvas.  This is a 30 x 20 so it did take 3 days for it to be totally dry to rework it.  This is also on a white canvas who's sides I paint black when it is ready to hang.
