New Work in Progress!

Here is the sketch for one of my new paintings.  I will probably be working on this live at Celebration of the Arts May 18-20.
This show the parts of the sketch before it's put together...

I use fancy tools like torn paper and pencils!  After getting the basics done for the idea, I use a window or glass door in my house to transfer the sketch to good Arches watercolor paper.  I have also measured and drawn this sketch to fit a frame I have waiting for it.

Here is the sketch on the watercolor paper.  I draw really lightly so that my sketch won't be very visible when I watercolor it.

Stay tuned to get a sneak peek of this piece before it's seen in public next weekend!
