Progress on the painting of Crete...

I have the first phase finished.  The spalshing will be done for a live audience at the demo in Tarzana this Wednesday.  This has been a fun piece.  I"m using hot press for the first time and I really like the way the pigments and the water move on this paper.  I will definitely be getting more of this stuff in the future!  Also, the entire painting has been done with an Escoda #8 round.  Excellent brush with a great point!
