 Wished to share the stages of the painting... the process

 

 Stages of the painting / process

 

 

 Stages of the painting / process (starting to build up the foundations of the sky)

 

 Stages of the painting / process

 

 

 Stages of the painting / process (measuring out the horizontal elements / balance)

 

 Stages of the painting / process

make a mess... keep it open and free

details comes out of chaos and form

 

 

 Stages of the painting / process

starting to define spaces

 

 

 Stages of the painting / process

building out the structure of the painting

 

 

 Stages of the painting / process

 

 

Stages of the painting / process

starting to add colour

 

Stages of the painting / process

 

 finished work. once the structure and form is all done

the details all fall into place.

By the 29th of March... I had been really tired. I was getting burnt out.  So I decided to paint early in the morning.  Get it done... so that I could have the rest of the day off and rest.  Needed a way to have a break.
