I decided that I needed to get down to basics again. It seems that I have a tendency to rush a painting rather than taking plenty of time to do a very good drawing before beginning. Then to proceed with thought and care. In this painting I worked out a nice drawing before I laid brush to canvas. It was quite difficult for me but I learned a great deal. There are some major problems with the painting but I was afraid of losing it. I will try again and correct what I felt I did wrong. I took photos of the drawing and then erased them from my camera. Next time I will show the entire process.

Sometimes artists have to go back to basics and do their 'scales' as it were. Good for you!
Happy Painting,
Nora
Thank you, Nancy. Yes, next time something not quite as complex. I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
Hi Nora...thank you for commenting on my blog...doing scales is a perfect way to describe this exercize.
Un superbe travail des nuances de blanc...
Gros bisous Linda.

Love your study in white! It's always amazing to me to see all the colors in white. Well done!
