Project 1 Day 1

Have started to draft the image for my Philodendron painting - which will essentially a play on pattern in the background (positive space) and the plant will be the deep green / black (negative space) in the foreground... element of design being the real focus.

Have attempted to load the drawings and earlier design sketches without luck yet.... but these will come.

I am mighty pleased with the day's effort, even though nothing on the canvas as yet... but I have a definite vision of what I want to put down on canvas which is 80% of the deal!

Perhaps feeling a bit more relaxed is generating a few more flexible ideas - as opposed to nagging to do lists related to work... so I will maximise my time off work this term.

My intention is to get a couple of canvases on the go at the same time in my studio, space permitting.
