Stage One

I have so many paintings at various stages of incompletion right now, including this one. I have two unfinished paintings of this model, as a matter of fact. She sat for us 2 weeks in a row and most people took advantage of that, painting on the same painting for 6 hours. Since I wasn't too crazy about my first start, I chose to start another one. I plan to finish both of them and will share the results with you. At this stage of the painting, all I've done is mark critical lines and begun to put in brightest color spot, lightest light and darkest darks. My support is cardboard.
