Reverse Work



I almost never paint the subject first and then add the background. Its just too difficult for me to work that way. But here is the exception to the rule. I wanted to establish the flow of the snakes right from the start. I just could not keep from jumping into the details first.


It seems to have worked out ok for me this time. I have an initial layer on the background. I will go back to it later and try to create a soft sky and clouds effect behind her. I also have asked Jennifer to come back to the studio again.....I am not thrilled with the position of the lowered arm.
