I will be working from this photo that I isolated from a video I previously filmed using the "Print Screen" button, then in "Accessories," "Paint," then "Paste". I was able to crop the photo before I saved it. So Hi-Tech!!!

Using only a black and white print of the picture from my laser printer, I sketched out the form. Oh, and I'm working on this OLD canvas that has many layers of paintings under it. When I don't like something, I clean off my palette over it and use it for a later painting. I don't want to pass on and have my UGLY stuff saved...

I broke out a new color I bought ,Gamblin Radiant Blue, thinned it with Mineral Spirits, and scratched it over the yukky background with a house paint brush. That brand of paint really goes far!!!!

I tried out my new Gamblin Pthalo Green, which is also strong. The canvas seems too wide and I wanted the figure to pop out in her solid parts, so I added some green behind the torso. Too green for the final, but it makes the figure turn pink even though I haven't added any color on it! I want to paint MOTION!

Is the dark too dark????

Hmmmm....
