Stove Progress

Here is the start of the actual stove painting. By using a 31 x 41 inch canvas, I've cropped some of the left side of the original drawing. I'm kind of thinking that was a mistake, but we'll see how it turns out in the end. I started out with a more graphic approach trying to mimic the linear feel of the drawing, but am now loosely blocking in areas of color with a big brush and really thin, wet acrylic paint. I'm letting it drip the way it wants to a little too. Not abandoning a total graphic approach; more like a balance between loose and graphic.
