Steps
I suppose I'm feeling a bit better since the painting I chose to copy is so hard that it can hardly be done succesfully by anyone. But it also feels like somewhat of a wrong step in this learning process. That's one thing about art, there isn't a list of things to do and at the end you're an artist. I know that.
I like painting alla prima but am intrigued by the grisaille method and like the way those results look. All I can do is learn that and then see which method works best for me. I do feel like I'm back in school again, trying to figure this out.
I have decided to get a better example of an old master's grisaille to copy. And at the same time work on painting from photos of my kids, using the grisaille method.
I will put more detail in the face of 'Lady Agnew' and continue with glazes, I'll learn a lot I'm sure.
Thank you both Peggy and Karin for your help, any suggestions for steps I should be taking will be welcomed.
Thanks,
Joan
