Today I got up and began to redo the sketch I did yesterday. I did several pencil thumbnail sketches where I experimented with the placement of figures on the page, the placement of audience on two or three sides, the dark values and an arching sky. The thumbnails were a help but I am having difficulties transferring the black and white sketches into color. This realization of course gives me something to work on with this week’s focus on using thumbnail sketches as a thinking and planning tool.

I need to figure out how to get something like the thumbnail sketch for software. Awesome painting!
