Progress

The board and the tape didn't stick the first time I tried to stretch the paper. . .



So I weighed it down with the other boards. That'll teach it.



And this is how it ended up! All tacked down and ready to go.



Some composition sketches.



And more sketches.



I had two concepts for how to kill Odin, both taken from the literature. This one is the more interesting of the two (for me) and has Fenris swallowing Odin.



The other one is more heroic but less correct, by all accounts: Odin has been mauled and Odin's son Vidar runs Fenris through, killing him.



Some notes on how my rough composition ideas are going. Since I'm going to use watercolor and ink on paper, the composition has to be near exact and drawn out before I start actually painting, or else I could ruin the paper. At $25 a sheet, that'd be a damned expensive mistake.

Plans for tomorrow include a visit to the Museum for the first class and some serious drawing for painting class. My boards (at least one of them) will be transported to school on Friday.

Skål!
