working enormous with lifesized figures in a vast landscape odd takes the preliminary sketch and transfers it using an eight by eight box grid everytime regardless of the format. He leaves space around the original dimensions so that he can adjust the final composition as he is painting, something that occurs several times throughout the process. Perhaps I've already mentioned the studio stretcher bars which will be replaced with nicer ones when the final dimensions have been decided. This also leaves a large number of unfinished pieces rolled up an stored.
