I spent the past the several days drawing. Yesterday I started drawing on 2 new canvases: Euclid Avenue<\/em> (48″ x 60″), and Sunday<\/em> (42″ x 56″). The day before, I started the 40″ x 50″ Girl in Purple Boots<\/em>. This furious drawing is, in part, the result of a screw-up. Several days back I started another 42″ x 56″ canvas called Watch<\/em>. But it was a struggle. The surface wasn’t right–it wasn’t coming together. The next day, hoping that a fresh start would rectify things, was just as bad. Then it dawned on me: I selected the wrong-sized canvas. I was unsuccessfully trying to shoehorn my worked-out design into the wrong size and scale. No wonder it wasn’t coming together.  The design was intended for a 48″ x 60″ canvas. Duh.<\/p>\n

I played with redesigning it but didn’t like the results. So I wiped off the drawing and put another ground on the canvas–I didn’t like the surface anyway. Although I really like the design for Watch<\/em>, I decided to put it aside for awhile, and used the larger canvas for Euclid Avenue<\/em> instead. I am putting the finishing touches on several other 48″ x 60″ canvases today and Watch<\/em> will have to wait until those surfaces are ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
