Here is today's painting.
I worked on black Mi Tientes today.
Several people came over to chat and asked for cards... I ran out!
I didn't have a card to give the last person who asked..... 2 people asked for info on portrait commissions.
Honestly I was not expecting to give out cards, normally people don't ask at the cathedral. I do always have a couple on me, but maybe now I'll carry more.
And I'm glad my website is all updated.
9x12, 4 hours and 15 mins-ish
The drawing took about an hour, I liked how it turned out.
I was smart- I was getting lost in the different sections at the top and I had the great idea to do the drawing with different colors to keep my place mentally.

(It wasn't actually my idea, I did ask the Universe for assistance....)

These cathedral paintings are quite difficult and require a lot of focus.
I'm not where I want to be with them, I see issues and things I don't like, and working on the black paper was REALLY different than lighter paper!!! I had no idea how to handle a few things but I figured it out, at least at a starting point.
I still feel somewhat uncoordinated....what I need to do is keep things the same for a while- paper, and paper color.
What I do not know is if I like black or dark grey better.
Artagain or Mi Tientes?
Or if it doesn't matter?

I kind-of made a decision to do 20 of them and then evaluate.
This is only #5, I don't have enough experience to make decisions.
I thought I left a comment here the other day but I don't see it. I will try to remember what I said. ha.... I liked the way this dark paper seemed to give the painting more depth. Probably looks more like the lighting in the cathedral. Definitely carry more cards. Good luck.
