I’ve finished the fourth chart of Boreas. Not that it’s super obvious, but this is the first chart that actually touches the woman in the painting.
What’s a little more obvious is it was a whole lot of black. Which was a little annoying on the top, because I miscounted the gap at the top, and had omitted a column. Which I didn’t discover until I was trying to join the two black sections. I realize I could have prevented this problem by gridding, but there’s something about gridding that my entire being resists. So I had to rip out a fair amount of the top and redo the right side. I’ll definitely be better about counting out (and rechecking) the top few rows from now on.
Here’s the whole thing so far. It’s funny looking at it on the screen, because it looks more like the painting viewed through a picture that it does in real life. The secondary view seems to really blur things – the arm looks more like arm above. I think being able to see what amounts to individual pixels throws me out of it in person.
