12:09 PM: i got an inspiration when we were on our zoom this morning. i was looking at one of my watercolor/collages hanging in our living area, which has some figures inspired by high school students sitting on the floor in the school lobby, working on their laptops. i had considered inserting figures viewed from above into this early stage composition, and somehow it clicked.
once i brushed over what i did yesterday with a diluted oil wash, i used mostly oil pastels to draw the figures. most important was the warm grey i used to make the initial drawing of the two figures.
i’m wacked out because i got up at 2am & couldn’t go back to sleep, so i’m stopping for the day and will continue on saturday. tomorrow we have to pick up a new well pump in salida & go to a doctor appointment, so i won’t be painting.
BELOW are yesterdays stage 2 & todays stage 3
