Portrait, 4/15/2016


I didn't realize I was painting such a sad expression! Obviously, I'm still
struggling with skin tones. I'm using a penlight led now, so at least I can see
what I'm doing. I think the problem is I'm mixing for one area at a time,
which is ok up close but comes off blotchy as an overall image. So next I'll
try a traditional approach of starting skin mixes from a single, mid-value
tinted red oxide base. 12" x 16" - 3 hrs.
