Last month I decided to start a new painting as a running start for my New Year’s resolution of painting with more regularity. 
I also thought it might be fun to document the step by step working process, something I haven’t done for a while.
This first phase is simply laying out the canvas. I knew the subject was a landscape so making a horizon line and blocking out some sky gave it a start.
The next series of posts will be shots of the painting as it evolves.
