These two photos show the painting "in progress". This is the longest part of the procedure and could be spread over several days if you wished. I tend to need to keep on going. The waxing and the painting are alternated back and forth and the dry time is essential in between. The paint must be dry before you put on another layer of wax. So if you have 5 layers of value then you need to do this 5 times. You can always do another project in the drying time! Which I did and I will show you that later.
This is the first, wildest, wisest thing I know: the soul exists...it is built entirely out of attentiveness.
