Weekly Paint Progress: 6/29


I was at the dentist today, and showed them my recently rediscovered photo of 1983 Gary. (And yes, then I made a guttural noise.) I haven’t done anything in the Venetian style for a while, where you make a black and white painting and then glaze the top layer with color.

This seemed like a good subject. I have no colors in the photo for reference, but maybe that’s where it will get loose.
