Kansas to Oz....

This is the transition from black and white into color. The charcoal drawing is complete and I have started to loosely block in large fields of color with opaque gouache paint. I will continue the under-painting until every shape, excluding the faces and hands, are covered with a thin layer of gouache paint. I will then begin to layer pastel on top of the gouache, rendering and finessing each form until I deem it worthy of completion.
