First… is the sketch in the sketch book. When I talked to Hillary she said she didn’t really care about the colors, but her office had some blues and greens in it…so I decided to take that and run with it…especially since I am a fan of this color combo. Then I draw the letter on my canvas and then painted in the actual “H” for Hillary

Then I painted in the background blue…this is where I normally set the painting down overnight…because the next two steps require drying. … so I went to sleep…woke up…went to work for 12 hours…and when I came home I went right for the “H”….

That’s when I do round one of Sharpie… that’s what the picture above is…round one. I do the lines and then go back and touch up the color to make it more defined and bold…then…more drying…so I check email…let Maggie out…talk to D about my day… THEN…
