Tuesday at the Palette

Had an apt in the afternoon, so I hoped on my usual morning train and stopped by the Palette and Chisel for a half day.
Decided to tackle that large white sketch pad that sits in my bin.
My pencil looked intimidated when approaching the 18x14 pad.
I think we both did well.

This may show more color ,

Finished

Well as finished as its going to be.
I love using fan brushes. Never thought I would,
Also using many brushes vs using 3.
Helps me keeps from getting muddy .

After sanding

The sanding breaks the skim coat on the paint.

After first Day of two day pose

Attempting to use all that Steven taught me.

New Doors

French doors into my animation studio!
I can close them when Terry is working, I can paint!

Looking in to my painting studio.

I used my horses for a table in my animation room.
Creative solution for now.
Love my new doors!
