Day three hundred and fifty-seven: There were several little prints by William Blake (English, 1757-1827) in the study room today. One nocturnal landscape caught my eye in particular, both for the gnarly tree and the crescent moon wrapped around a black circle. When I began to imitate the print, I started sketching with black, but quickly realized it would be better to paint the background black and erase my way into areas of white. And that is exactly what I did.
