Moving Backwards

There's no pic for this post.  Just imagine a big white square, because I just painted over what I had previously done!  Aaaccckkk!

There's a reason for doing preliminary sketches...and preliminary color swatches...and having a plan.  Of course, I had all that.  The problem is, I didn't stick to the plan!  I veered off, thinking I had a good grasp on these delightful red and purple colors...wasn't it just so perty??

But it dawned on me that the end result was going to look a lot, color wise, like the "relate" canvas, and that wasn't part of the plan!  Oh yeah!  I had a plan!  Oops!

So, I'm going back to the plan.  That is, once this gesso dries and I can sand it down a bit....

Mistakes cost time.
