I just reheated my coffee, my table is all ready and layout...just need some water in my mason jar and then I'm ready to begin. I have always used natural light, I don't like painting with artificial lights because the colour of the paints on canvas are always look strange to me...it effects the colour. I don't have much time to paint today, I'm losing the best light. I get the background finally painted on, I drink the coffee that I had to reheat again. Now I'm waiting for the paint to dry before, I put the sketches of the puffins on the canvas. It seem to be a good place to end the day, I should be back working on the Puffin Paintings within a couple of days.
Both Canvas' have the basecoat painted on at this point.
