Ball Of Wool - 3

Currently, it's a matter of creating the correct contours to depict all the many creases and lines. then apply the correct density of colour. This is done in layers, gradually building up from Red through Yellow Ochre into some mid blue then light blue. then going back and repeating the process as necessary. Once an area is complete and i move on to another..I realise that the previous area needs to be strengthened.

Often when I have taken a break..I return to view the picture seeing areas that need more attention which I hadn't noticed before. Since I work in my bedroom, the picture is on my desk by the window, looking at my previous days work is always the first thing I do when I wake. Consequently it is the last thing before retiring. So you see..I live with my work, I sleep with my work..it is the thing I look at more than any other.

Watched a particularly beautiful but also tragic love played out in the movie 'Betty Blue' last night. I've recently been listening to the soundtrack from it which is hauntingly sensual and languid.The film is all that but disturbing in other ways. I've watched the Directors Cut which was around 3 hours long. Next to watch will be 'Before Sunset' the sequel to 'Before Sunrise' which I have been meaning to watch for a few months now.I'll let you know what I think.
