Autumn Woods at Long Hill (Sketch on Canvas) April 19, 2026


On April 19, 2026, I finally started work on my painting.  I always begin by creating a grid on my reference photo, and then I make a rough grid on the canvas.  This helps a lot with getting things in the right place, and eliminates many (but not all) do-overs.  I use conte crayon to for the lines of the grid and for the sketch itself.  Here I have sketch in the main shapes of my composition.  To be continued. . . .
