Hi, Mark.
I transferred the composition to the large canvas with a grid (I placed faint grid lines in pencil on the canvas and drew the outlines of the masses). Since I had painted a study first, I had been able to resolve the composition before I even started with the final painting.
Regarding my background, I studied architecture and art. I have been working very hard these last two years. I go to live model sessions 3 times a week and I paint every day. If I keep this up, by my calculations I should get pretty good in about 15 to 20 years.
