day two down. My final drawing, although this has been traced over with pen. can't figure out how to turn the pic on my phone.
finalized my drawing and toned my canvas and then I had a few setbacks.
Nothing I couldn't handle but still frustrating.
I ordered a claessans Belgian linen panel that turned out to be a nightmare. Considering what I paid for it I was a little disappointed.
Carlo works on CBL and wanted us to try it but the panel I ordered had a oddly slick and smooth surface. It wouldn't hold paint. I toned it, it dried and I could wipe it right off. Grrrr.
Even transferred my drawing and painted the lines and it wiped off.
Lucky it was end of day so I decided to head to the downtown Philly Dick Blick to pick up a Gessobord panel.
one of the other participants was nice enough to drop me off near the store (really no parking). So I picked up a few things and walked 20 minutes back to my car in the heat. Lucky for me I passed a Starbucks and took the walk in stride with an iced coffee in hand.
so tonight I'm doing a little homework to get back on track and one of the girls is going to meet me in a little early tomorrow so I can get an early start on my color block in. Hoping to have that done mid-morning to lunch so I can can start in with thicker paint after lunch.

Well that's weird about the Belgian canvas. Must require some kind of treatment, 'cause that just doesn't sound right.
Anyway, the drawing's looking good, even sideways! ;-)
Good luck tomorrow.
Good ol' Dick Blick!
:-)
