Day 2: The sketch and a layer of white opaque water colour
Day 1: The gesso is down,  – its around 86 cms wide x 1100 cms  high.

Its is exciting I have been putting off doing a portrait of our ward Councillor Sue Bolton for about a year it was going to be a digital print maybe that will come too now –

I like the darker jumper  – think I am almost there a bit of tightening up.

Its great having Photoshop – took the other photo in and tried on different colours for the jumper  – then could go straight back to the painting with colour and tint in mind.

Its is exciting I have been putting off doing a portrait of our ward Councillor Sue Bolton for about a year it was going to be a digital print maybe that will come too now – I wanted the essence and not the full active life of all her to do and doing list.  We are so lucky to have Sue as our ward Councillor. A big fan of her style of participatory democracy.

The gesso is down, the sketch done and a layer of white opaque water colour – its around 86 cms wide x 1100 cms  high. Adding colour tomorrow.
