Still an underpainting / まだ下描きです

I know this makes no sense to most of you — it’s still an underpainting.
I apply more layers of paints on it to make it a “painting.”
Yet please note that I took weeks between the left and right below.
This means at long last, I decided what to paint on the “priming” shown left, which was made by chance.

これ、なんやら訳が分からないと思います。まだ、下絵なのですから。
これから、これに何層も絵の具を重ねていって、「絵画」にします。
ただ、この左から右に進むのに、何日も要したのですね。
つまり、左の偶然できた「地塗り」のうえに何を描くのか、ようやく決まったということなんです。

Underpaint --- of course, still messy and enigmatic  /  下塗りです。まだ、ワケがわかりませんね
