Primer: any book of elementary principles.
I've been fine tuning the first panel in my Primer series, adding small details. This feels like embroidering on a large woven tapestry. I had a studio visit with a fellow artist in my building last week, and she encouraged me to really amp up the details so that the work is as satisfying to view up close as it is from afar. If I go overboard, I can always cover some of it. The beauty of mixed media! But it sure is fun. A rainy week ahead here in Maine, so I'm sure that I will be in my studio alot again this week! I'll keep you posted...

I think this is right you do need to add different levels of interest. I find when I work in charcoal that the marks, the texture of the marks, and the value shifts in the marks create a level of detail of their own. The focus of the composition falls to a new paradigm in close-up. What do you think?

The detailing is exquisite. I love your "primer" concept. Happy creating this week--rain is a blessing in more than one way.
Very nice!!
