Measurements

Hi Leslie -

I can relate. I think any time we add paint over a sketch it tends to go off from the original measurements. That is my constant struggle and I've read similar comments online at this site. I've read people commenting on their work, and they frequently mention "re-stating" their work. In plain talk, that means they realize that the painting's proportions are now incorrect and they have to correct it.

I am in the midst of such a struggle now. I have let the work dry and then I took a tracing from my exact size photo and laid it over my painting. I now can take note of all the things that have drifted and need "re-stating".
