planning ahead

All the figures are finally placed in Boomlift, I'll be doing fine squiggly marks for the tree limbs for the next week, and more lines and ropes on the Boomlift mechanism itself.

I drew the washtub full of water and leaves yesterday. Today I painted the elliptical edges of the tub, and the branches of the tree the water reflects - then when I paint the water/sky colors over it and the chalk grid vanishes, I'll still have an accurate guide.
Mixed the colors for water, which means sky and autumn leaves. Felt like I was on holiday. Big brushes, free brush strokes.
