the next stage

I've painted in the first layer of washes and this is the result

Tomorrow you'll get to see the finished painting, because again, I can't stop in the middle of this technique.... YET. :lol:

Simple things

The simplicity of a loaf of bread, two slices cut from it - just called out to be painted.
Yet again, I am trying this in the new brushstroke style.
Here's the drawing

Bread was such a staple when I was younger - I always loved to eat the crusts - or the heel, as the Irish side of my family would call it.
Nowadays we are a little more health conscious and the white crusty loaf is a thing consigned to memory.
Still makes  a lovely subject, though :)
