I worked on the drawing\/cartoon for Down on Prospect Avenue<\/em> for a week.  In the top photo, I just finished tracing the cartoon, which you can see still stapled to the canvas.  I removed the transfer paper to examine the drawing.  If I miss something, I can cover the canvas with the cartoon and trace it again.  <\/p>\n

In this case, everything was OK, so I removed the cartoon entirely then sprayed the surface lightly with varnish.  I do this because I don’t want to smudge or remove the drawing, nor do I want the carbon mixed into the oil paint.  It doesn’t hurt the paint but it does muddy it.  The upside down drawing is plainly visible although faint in this photo.<\/p>\n

After the varnish dried, I started painting.  I’ve varied my usual practice with this canvas.  I added burnt sienna to the normal gray-tone ground made with ivory black, raw umber, and white. <\/p>\n
