Starting the painting.


I decided to start the painting in a similar way to how i painted the Soutine painting by building up the layers but this time i am using oils. I started with a burnt umber and yellow wash. Then i painted the shapes with a paler under colour for each shape. I needed to let the oils dry for a day before continuing. This is the painting up to this point. Lisa thought the shapes looked like sweets which i like the idea of since the shapes are from a childs game.
