"Roland" in progress
This is phase one of "Roland", at 34" x 40", my largest canvas to date. I have been working on it for two months in my mind and in charcoal sketches.
Another first for me was stretching raw linen which I probably overprimed as the canvas has lost much of its tooth. My brushes flew today! Maybe that's a good thing?
I believe the underpainting shows the direction I plan to take this. The jacket and some other areas will go darker, but I'm going to do that in a cooler lay-in tomorrow.
Your comments are highly valued!
