ABSTRACT
The rst thing I always do when starting on a new drawing is to quickly ll in just basic dabs of color to get the right balance in the foundation (Fig.02). I do this at a relatively low resolution: 150 dpi canvas. This is so I can quickly blend in many colors and not have to worry about traveling “long distances” on a huge canvas (my nal resolution would be an intensive 600 dpi canvas for extra ne details, but it’ll be much later in the painting before I boost up the dpi).
