The inspiration for this work is an old black and white photo. The canvas is natural linen with clear gesso. It's a new type of canvas for me and I have to say, I love it.
The photo shows the first 2 layers of oil I put down. I just started sketching with thinned down burnt umber and the second layer has a bit of color.
Now I will have to wait till it's dry enough before an other layer.
This is also the reason, I have more work done n the go at the same time!
