Start in the Back

My underpainting is dry and I’ve started to work on the furniture. I start on the things furthest in the distance, that being the wall in the top left corner, then the wicker couch (that you can only see a bit of here), then the white couch cushion with appropriate shadows smoothed in. What you cannot see here is that the painting spills over onto the edges – we plan to put it in a box-type frame and the edges will be visible.
