Step One


Okay...so this is how it is going to go.
I have just finished watching Donna Zagotta's DVD called The You Factor. She works in OPAQUE watercolor (gouache). And at the same time I fell in love with some photos Deb Ward posted in a quilt store. (See her Oct 25 post.). Aren't they cool. She gave me her permission to use the photos as a starting point and I have actually combined several to make a new drawing (of course). So. First I made this rough sketch about the same size as the painting I planned to do later. As Donna suggests I tried to look at the setting more as an abstract group of shapes than as an actual picture I was drawing. (Does that make sense?) This is just a pencil sketch on scrap paper.
