This is the first pass on the 12 x 16 canvas, showing you how I'm picking out the large dark shapes to create the focal point and those very important lines of shadow and roof that collect up the viewer's eye direction, bringing them right where I need them to be. This underlayment is done with a wash of cadmium orange and burnt umber. The drawing at this stage is done with burnt umber and untramarine blue.
Note again how I've moved the folks and horses down into the picture plane, expanding the background for better design.
Congratulations to new collector Linda Douglas on her purchase of "Easter Morning" from my web site.
