This morning I put my first layer of oil paint on the canvas and intentionally kept it as intense as possible.
These layers are preparation for subsequent layers and I hope that they will bleed through the following strokes and create a vibrancy from beneath.

Warm-up
The basic warm-up.

What went well, what was awesome! Celebrate It!
Started actually painting!
What needs work? What did you learn?
I’m making notes as I’m working on this painting and plan to culminate them into one place.
How am I going to Optimize moving forward?
Continue as I am, keep it consistent.
