planning

At last, I finished this week's assignment for my oil painting class. I prepared a palette of colors from the photo for my painting (from these photos it's hard to see the light rose color... aagh... photography problems!!!) and then did a little color sketch to see how they would look on canvas before we begin the real painting. I've never done this before but it definitely is the best way to really see what is going to happen so I can change or adjust what I'm doing. I'm so excited to do the large painting, though I also remembered how little patience I have for oils drying. I could barely wait for the paint to dry on this little sketch to paint on top of it! Why is my lesson in life always patience?!! ;)
