the preliminary sketch


Here is my starting point-- a sketch in blue pencil with watercolor wash. The idea of using paint tubes as subject matter came about as I thought about the title, "All the Right Stuff". I was interested in the corresponding paint color number that was printed on each tube of Winsor Newton paint. The pattern on the tube label and the numbers became the subject matter for this latest painting.
