I’m continuing to get back into my art groove after really enjoying my photo groove during my wife and I’s (with the 8 year old grandson!) 1st trip in 3 years! ☺️

Like my prep work for my 1st watercolor Austin Greenbelt poster on paper, I placed my source image and line drawing in one side by side file to work from – blocking out our friend’s face for privacy.
Then I decided I should probably do a digital value study too, lol!
So despite spending part of the morning 1st time in nearly 2 weeks at the nearby greenbelt 😊 I carved out the image I wanted, created a BW rendition, then digitally painted in my line art with Affinity Photo.
Next I want to paint one or more small watercolors on paper of the figure.
It’ll occupy a small piece of the 25×40, maybe only 2-3 inches tall, to it’ll be a challenge to get it convincing; though inserting it into my work in progress.
The canvas with my hand drawn line art, and the current state of my work-in-progress, are both below.

Though similar to my Barton Creek Greenbelt watercolors posters on paper, the canvas rendition, along with the inlay of light molding paste over the canvas gesso, still creates its “own thing” I think. The size of course has its own impact, especially on me work on it, lol! 😊

That’s it for today; got a lot done, got a lot to do, and very grateful this is something I can work on ❤️
