Originally thought I was going to paint this on natural canvas with clear gesso, but I took a stab at it and didn't like it. So ended up painting on white gessoed canvas. Sometimes you gotta change up your idea 🤷♀️

QRT with your sketch and final
I often do large "sketches" to plan out everything before I get started. For some reason, I just gotta see it at full size to really get a sense of the composition.
