I thought it might be interesting to show how I develop a painting. It is 48" x 24".
The first layer establishes rudimentary texture. This is done with acrylic washes.
In the next few days, I'll show the different steps as I go to finish.

What - you feed pigeons acrylic paint before they fly over your canvas? It looks like a New York sidewalk.

Very interesting idea, John. Like ferry360, I am appreciative too: one because you share your talents with us, and two, because you have become a good friend to some of us.
Shalom from Jerusalem

John,
It will interesting to follow. I enjoyed how you showed the different steps when you created the head banner for my EGO blog. I will send you an email regarding the banner. I have changed my template and need some help to adjust the banner to fit the new template.

HEY! Ya mean to tell me that you don't start with a piece of paper with numbers on it? ;o)

HEY G
Oh...it has numbers on it-but they go to 37.592. Putting the right color in the right numbered area is a little painstaking.
