Porcelain Pigs, work in progress I had a Need to create a painting with bone china or porcelain. My first thought was 'Teacups'. But as I browsed through my Cabinet of Curiosities I came across this sounder of pigs. I draw the still life on a piece of tracing paper first then transfer the drawing onto the canvas or board. Sometimes I do detailed monochromatic or Grisaille underpaintings and then build up the colors. This is a fairly monochromatic painting so I'm starting by blocking in the colors and the lights and darks. This is how the painting looks at the end of Day 1.
