early start

I am posting yesterday's picture early today.........off to figure group at the Westport Art Group and then to find an afternoon spot if it's not raining too hard. This is a study and is 8x10......on an archival canvas panel. I usually try to finish things when I get home but find that these panels remain so wet that I have to wait a bit. I am unsure if this is because there is no air circulation from the back and no absorption from the front.........at any rate, if I try to manipulate the surface I simply pull the paint off.
