Mt. Tabor study

Adding color shapes to the value sketch emphasizes the all-over design of this painting, and will help me keep the greater composition in mind as I'm working on each individual panel.

I've enjoyed looking back at the creation of your previous composite paintings and really look forward to seeing the compiling of this one.

I was wondering what to do with a box of 8" x 8" I bought some time ago. You may have solved my problem.

I love how the diagonals keep your eye moving throughout the entire composition. I can't wait to see the painted colors.

Thanks for writing, Alicia. Yes, I like those diagonals, too...

I appreciate you taking the time to write, Harry. I'm also looking forward to seeing this one come together. I'm after a composition that's greater than the sum of it's parts--a new idea for me.
