Yesterday I added color to the Black & White painting from 2 weeks ago and started another black & white painting. I found the addition of color to the first one forced me to keep deep grays that I usually wouldn't have in my work. I liked the result, which is why I started on the second painting in black & white. The woman squatting with her dog was there for all of 2 minutes; her friend, seated on the planter edge next to her probably sat down for less than a minute. I waited, painted other quick sketches of others on the trail, but no one sat down to give me a chance to refine the posture of the person seated on the ledge. I'll be going back -- maybe bring my own model! -- to see if I can finish the underpainting and then put some color in another day.
