The under painting



So my Sister in law gave me a beautiful image from her trip to Rome to attempt to paint. I love the perspective of the picture, and since today my little ones were gone with grandma, and grandpa, I spend the afternoon working on the under painting.
Sometimes, I actually like under paintings more than the finish product (maybe watercolors with pen and ink could be something to try soon). I hope that's not the case with this picture, even though I really love how it is coming along so far.
I can't wait to get going, and add some color to this painting.
I don't think I'll include the original photograph at this point. But maybe once the whole painting is completed, I can put them side by side.
Yeah for awesome grandparents, that take amazing care of our children, so I can draw, and listen to 90's tunes for an afternoon. I guess grocery shopping will have to wait for another day.
