Planning a Painting

I've been floating an idea for a painting around in my head for a week or so and decided that I would tackle the project proper (for the most part). I have been thinking a lot about fashion, trends, and the current generation of hipsters and steampunkers. This painting would be an appeal to the imagery associated with both trends. Although it isn't yet finished, it is shaping up according to plan.There is much more to come in this work, but it began with an idea I typed into my memo app on my iPhone, then progressed to a very rough sketch, then a more detailed sketch which allowed me to plan my assault. Paint can be unforgiving and unless you want to scrap progress half way through, it's good to always have a plan. Unless you are planning to paint Pollock style, and my guess is that he made plans too. The picture posted is showing the beginning of the paint step to about half way through, you'll have to check back to see the completed work which will be available on Etsy with my other paintings.

Still working on this one. Taking it bit by bit, visualizing each layer.
