I'm really happy with how this three hour painting turned out! It's the first time
I've felt I had a grip on a workable portrait technique: 1) very quick charcoal sketch
2) quick thin monochrome to place the form 3) thin local color plus shadow with no
painting medium, just scrubbed in 4) last 1.5 hours modeling volume from a base tone
mix using plenty of medium.
Step 3) was new and gave plenty of grip so I could dab in two or three value layers in
nice gloppy paint! Three hours means strictly first thought best thought! 12" x 14.5"
