Because of all the planning done beforehand, this is the time to pull out the tools, brushes, paints, stamps, and stencils and do the work. Preparing these elements can take hours or days and should not be rushed.
If I am not sure that my choice of colour or technique achieves the goal of the composition, I will prepare a second one. The leftover item will not be wasted whether I use the original idea or the alternative.
Adhesion of these items can be a challenge. Many materials like paper can be stuck to the panel with gel medium. Other items may need glue or even nails. All of the aspects involving materials not typically found in an art store have their own challenges that I have to take into account during both the planning and execution stages of the painting.
When these items are finished, or mostly finished, I tape them to the panel in their respective positions. Then, it's time to take a break.
Until tomorrow!
