NOTE for Tess:
I’m posting some photos here just as a reminder to myself of the work in progress.
Will probably come back to add some words…
A biro, ink and acrylic sketch on A4 Khadi paper (right), and the start of the same image on canvas.
Slightly cleaner, brighter photo of that same biro, ink and acrylic sketch on A4 Khadi paper.
That same canvas - photographed in dim artificial light, sorry.
Seeking to minimise the sky and maximise the sense of an urban garden, I drew this on my iPad.
It was strangely satisfying to paint white gesso all over version 1, and start again.
I painted on canvas something more like the iPad composition.
