Some work-in-progress steps for some of the finished paintings elsewhere on this site
From a large sketchbook ... started with thumbnail sketches on the right (being left-handed) experimenting with the light source. Then moved to a larger, more proportioned compositional drawing (that as you can see has been modified)
Shows the progression from compositional drawing which is then transferred to a Yellow Ochre primed canvas and under-painted in Burnt Umber and Transparent Red Oxide. Broad areas of colour are then scumbled on to check the balance and allow for some optical effects to show through in the final painting (see The Razor's Edge)
