(A fairly busy day of moving, stacking, and covering hay cut into today’s work on the painting course.)



Course work: After some additional experiments with masking off and with a view-finder, I have concluded that although the vertically-extended drawing done yesterday offers potential for an interesting negative-space painting, it does not even approximate the shape of an A2 sheet. I will have to do some object rearrangement and lengthen the horizontal axis.
