A daily painting

I always start my daily paintings with a drawing. Sometimes it is on paper like I did today or sometime it is right on the canvas. I wasn't sure how I would put the dragonfly in the painting so I played around with a few quick sketches on paper first, then I put the drawing on the canvas.

After I had the drawing down I started putting in the base colors. The drawing is never detailed because it will be painted over.

Here we are with the finished painting.
