Lines and Forms Painting

 This is still a work in progress. The bottom image is of the background I created. Those lines across the canvas are string which I gessoed on to the canvas. Then, in the top right image, I went in and threw in those lines as the environment. At this point I removed the string. And then from there, using the lines/ environment I created, I found my forms within those lines. Still all one big working idea and I wish I had used more string....

Materials: Oil paint, canvas, string
