Coming Clean

When I began painting, I lovingly would create a grid on a photo and with just as much care would recreate the grid to scale on my watercolor paper. I would draw out my drawing. And because I was working from a photo I would include way too much detail. The eye doesn’t pick up that much detail – mine doesn’t anyway.

This would take several hours, maybe a day or two. Sometimes it would become a drawing instead of a painting.

It was difficult to find a delicate balance of when to stop drawing and start painting.

Then I was introduced to projecting!!! What a time saver. I could quickly project the photo onto the paper, no longer worried about proportions or scale. http://teresabeyerfineartist.blogspot.com/
