aerial landscape #1

day 16

so for anyone who follows, it's plain to see that i have apparently been slackin'. but in my defense, i am working on a new painting (and developing a concept for a big big body of work!). in short, i'm using aerial landscape photography to inspire abstract paintings. below is a picture of the work in progress. i'm sketching out the image below(a pain in the rear--let me tell you what) to scale on a rather large canvas. it'll be a blueprint of sorts and the end result will look nothing like the photograph. at this stage in the game my drawing patience is wearing thin and i wanna get my hands in some oils...but i know only with proper planning will it be successful!

{so much to draw}

more updates to come as i progress!
