Was supposed to rain that day, but by 2pm still no clouds in sight - so I decided to go for it. Didn't have much daylight left and the pedestrian overpass is less than five minutes from my house - so I went there (again!)
I picked an out-of-the-way corner - look how clear the sky was, and how long the shadows were already. The yellow thing is a level. I've learned not to trust your eye when outside for setting the panel level.
The sketch - I've already started the block in
Making progress
notice how I've let a brush handle roll into the paint on my palette - that I won't discover until
I've spread it all over my hands and clothes.
"Stairway" - oil on 18" x 14" panel
