Just started my Ivan Shishkin copy

[Naomi]

I’m painting an 18×24″ on a lead alkyd ground. I’m painting the underpainting with raw umber and white. Then I’ll go over in color. I basically just eyeballed it and drew in a rough outline. On the bottom right hand corner, I’ve started the underpainting. It’ll take me a couple of days to complete the underpainting. I couldn’t get the whole image in because my canvas is not wide enough. Oops. 😏
