Glazing Day One

Very busy today on the first day of glazing a major painting. Unusually I chose burnt sienna and ultramarine for a blue sky (with white, naturally). Normally I think this is a bit too transparent but even the cobalt blue underpainting was very smooth, hardly needs a glaze, but I tend to glaze everything and paint everything wet in wet; a lot of work but it improves smoothness. Long day with only two breaks plus meals. My current routine has a 30 minute break at 10:30, plus an hour at 15:00. Day two tomorrow. On we march.
