Pastel ground on canvas

This is a reminder to lay my canvases flat while working.

Draw as much as possible with colored pencils/art stix and layer with pastel ground at the end of each layer.

Incorporate oil when the underdrawing stage is complete.

Try to refrain from using glossy, resin-like mediums throughout the piece.

Get more sable brushes and use more turpenoid and spike oils.
