Started this new painting two weeks ago. Here are a couple of progression photos. At 36"x48" this is the largest painting I've attempted. Given the size I skipped the usual detailed drawing and went straight to doing a rough drawing on the gessoed panel and working straight over that. I went over the pencil outlines with acrylic, then blocked in some colors. I am now doing a monotone under-painting for most of the image so as to lay down most of the tonal values.
The theme of the painting is one of the transcendent, a concept that I've been intrigued with after listening to some philosophical podcasts.
