Ok, if you are like me you looked at the picture I posted yesterday and it didn't seem all that different from the one posted before - well, not sure if it was the light, camera angle or operator error (no couldn't be that) but here is what I think I should have posted and actually does look like something has happened since the last time. Still got a lot of work to do but he is coming around and have high hopes that by Sunday he will be pretty close to finished.
Bold woman's portrait
Bold Ok, for today's portrait I went out of the box and decided to try a different look and approach. This is on watercolor paper, I applied a layer of paper collate over it (you can see that some of it started lifting - so got to use more medium to glue it next time) Anyway then I tried to leave part of that under collage showing, even in the face. Went back in and applied several more light lawyers of transparent and opaque paint and then put in the hair using my dagger bus. Gosh that brush makes hair so much easier While this might not the best example what are your thoughts to taking portraits this more dynamic direction? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
