Trumpet Vine for Marcia (Sketch for Painting Dec. 13, 2022)



Here is my sketch for my current project, a painting of trumpet vines for my long-lost friend Marcia. Here I am just sketching on the canvas with conte crayon. I am trying to get the composition and placement right. I set up a rough grid on the photo reference as well as on the canvas. The key is to get the placement of those five key branches to work. A big part of making art is just working through a series of mistakes. . .
