‘Grandfather’ is large by my recent standards–40″ x 60″. The drawing was transferred using a grid. When the drawing was done, I inked it, that is, I went over it with India ink. Then I  covered the surface with an thin tone of  raw umber and lead white.<\/p>\n

For larger paintings I use cotton; linen is too expensive. I recently saw a show consisting of large canvases at least 6′ on a side, and all were linen–wow! They were painted broadly and loosely (and clumsily), which makes it hard to understand the expensive linen when cotton would have been sufficient.<\/p>\n

‘Grandfather’ isn’t near done. Originally the wall was white and there wasn’t a window but the composition seemed static. So I added the window and landscape.<\/p>\n

The smaller painting is another boat painting. We start preparing The Betty Jane <\/em>for launch this week.<\/p>\n

Sunday is the day I stretch canvases. Tonight: one 24″ x 30″, and one 30″ x 36″. The latter is on heavy-duty stretcher strips, which any painting over 30″ should use. Both are cotton. This spring I plan to buy 3 yards of linen, from which I will get 7 paintings ( three 24″ x 30″, and four 32″ x 38″).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
