Now that the 'priming' is dry, it is time to layout the design. I used my living room floor to lay the four canvases out as one large painting.
I do not transfer the entire image. I wanted to get the strong lines in, so I used blue painter's tape -easier for a large image. I used blue chalk to mark the location of a few major objects.
I put in just what I need to save some lights and establish how the four individual canvases will relate to each other.
Next step is to begin laying in some background. I will do some if that with the canvases on the floor, to make the transition appear seamless. But once that is in I will work on one canvas at a time for convenience. I can always put them back down on the floor to make any judgements I may need to make to be sure they continue to play well together.
Time to bring out more paint!
