1 of 100 "starts"

I am reading a book "Fill Your Oil Painting with Light and Colour" by Kevin MacPherson. Its the first time I am reading a book on painting and applying the lessons to use. One of the things suggested in the book is that you do 100 starts - which means you block the major colours of the subject without getting into any detail. Basic idea here is too build ones judgement of colour of objects and the relation they share with things around. As well as building the speed factor. So here is my first of this series...
I left my camera at my mama's place during a recent visit... so image was taken with mobile camera and quality is not great...
It is a very good book and available for less than inr1000 on flipkart.com!
