Back to the Grapes

Leaves, leaves, and more leaves.  I tried working on the mural this afternoon, but it was a bit hot up on the step ladder - heat rises and it is definitely warmer working on the upper part of the mural.  So, I waited until it was evening to continue.  The downside of that is dealing with the glare of the lights in certain spots while painting.  Oh well...


Anyway, I started detailing the grape leaves.  Part of me was dreading it (just a little) - there are so many.  I still have many more to go, but I'd say I'm about two-thirds done.

This is how it looked before - leaves just loosely "sketched" in
As many as there are to do, it is nice to see them being defined more.

With more detail built up

Toooooo Hot!!!

Summer is definitely here and it's been over 100 degrees for the past couple days - a rare thing for our particular location. Since my studio is in the garage (therefore - no climate control), daytime drawing hasn't really happened.


Instead, this has been the priority...cooling off!
