I've been putting in long hours on this grisaille - benefits of having a week off work! Also putting together thumbnails to try to work out the problems I am having with the painting. Huge learning process on both. I begin to long for colour and tomorrow plan to have a day of doing pastels for respite.

Anita your grisaille looks wonderful and I love the accent of light next to the chair.
Your thumbnails are so well done, too!
Not much evidence of "problems" that I can see! Have fun with your pastels!
My goodness, Anita! your chair looks so real i feel like plopping myself down in it! the light/shadow work is wonderful, too.
i'm so happy to hear you're craving color. it's quite addicting once we start exploring it.
absolutely stunning Anita !!!!
Mary - as you know its a long process! Wish I was at the same stage as you!
Dave - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Lots of trial with plenty of errors but thats the way to learn, right?
Thanks Billie! What I love about colour is the nuance you can find in it when you really start looking.
Kim- Thank you!
Anita - the changes you are making are all well worth the time and effort. I love your thumbnails. Great to see you are moving forward with it. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

The chair is more than stunning. He really looks so real - I want to sit there!!!
Glorious work Anita!
wonderful mood and light.
With a foundation like this your colour will vibrate, I'm sure. Love watching this process and your thumbnails are gems.
I love your chair. Beautifully done, and quite inspiring in its use of white and gray. It has such an amazing energy around it. The light is well done.
