Finally got the canvass covered with a first layer. Tried to block in the base values, but I tend to over think details even at this early stage, so instead of looking like a well structured set of values, it looks like a kindergarten project. But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to look with this many details to deal with. Should be fun if I can figure out the water and lily pads, which dominate the middle of the painting and will need to be balanced just so to get this to work.
