I enjoy this stage. Often, someone sees the painting and says, ‘I like the mono tone. You should leave it like that.’ I think it is because in the colorless condition the three dimensionality stands out. This is also where it can become difficult. Today, I was so tired that I almost couldn’t work. Anyway, I like to get the lights established. The BRIGHTS and the Light. I always make an effort to get character into my work. I want people to feel the spirit of the mood and experience what the subject or subjects are experiencing. I will probably put some colors in as a sort of guide for the look I am aiming for. Notice the hands. I simply must work this into the title! Till next time, Diana
