Vanitas Drawing started

I have been wanting to do a large scale drawing for a very long time mixing watercolor and graphite together. I have prepared reference photos and experimented with the mixed media part of the process. And I feel I am finally ready to do this. Below is the under drawing I worked on for the past 2 days. This drawing is 24" x 27" and it is bigger than any drawing I have ever done before. So when I sit down in front of this big paper and think about filling this from edge to edge, it is a little bit daunting. But I am excited about this challenge. I am going to post the progress on this blog as I work my way through this.
