When I got home I had a sketch that I really liked and wanted to copy but I had already started the painting with a pencil drawing on a 60x70 canvas. I first tried to accomodate my new sketch to the 60x70 canvas but the proportions were wrong. I was impatient and did not finish the drawing before adding color. It was not working. So I decided to start from scratch, get a canvas made with the correct proportions and do the "union Jack" technique of making the grid on the sketch and the larger canvas and that way copy the sketch exactly. It feels right now.
