Well, even though this is a painting, I'm going to count it as my daily drawing, because I spent a long time drawing the image on the canvas. I did it the old fashioned way, by holding my brush at arm's length and measuring with one eye shut. This in front of a crowd of interested museum-goers. (Nobody ever said being an artist is dignified.) It's the first day of a new copy, "The Red School House" by Winslow Homer. I'm also including a photo of the painting at the end of day 1, after I got some paint on most of the gessoed canvas. I underpainted the sky blue-gray, because it looks like that's what Homer might have done. I'll repaint the entire thing next week.
