DESPITE and REFRAIN colours come back to life.

ASCENT, second pass.
Working by subtraction is paying off β the dark areas hold, the light emerges where it should.
It's getting close to what I had in mind.
But something is still missing.
That touch that gives it a soul.
There will be a third pass.





ASCENT
30x50cm, oil on board
I've defined the spaces and blocked in the colours with chalks.
Now the oil work begins.
I'll work by subtraction β a full base of the darkest areas, then the lit parts will emerge with brief brushstrokes of colour.
A different method than usual.
We'll see how the canvas responds.
