Fatigue: Drawing Refinement

I spent close to an hour doing some drawing refinement on this new painting.

Erasing on gessoed canvas doesn’t work very well. It doesn’t get rid of the charcoal marks it only lightens them a bit so this drawing refinement looks a bit like a double image. I think I’ll have one more session of drawing refinement before I begin the block-in.

My day is complete only when I do some piece of art each day, no matter how small. "There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it.
