Since my last post I have acquired my paper (Arches hot press) and new pigments (Italian Deep Ochre and Burgundy Red Ochre).
Doing backgrounds is always a struggle for me so have spent an inordinate amount of time experimenting with different techniques and colours in my head. Today I put some of those ideas on paper and I think I am getting close. My next step will be to get my drawing down on paper--and that's the easy part!
In the meantime, I have also connected with the photographer of the reference photo, Sandy Steck, who has been so kind in allowing me to use her photo. A big shout out to you Sandy.
