Preliminary drawing and block-in was a mix of indian yellow and venetian red on a dried Liquin base. The main masses were underpainted simply with added medium. The facial features were placed early with burnt umber and didn't seem to need much fussing around so I left the face unfinished and tried to not overplay skin modeling. I've noticed that my cool flesh shadows tend to be harsh, so I stayed with warm shades and softened some of the edges. The second pass around the big forms was made with big brushes and plenty of paint. 16" x 14" - 3 hours.
