Portrait of Hooter – Part Three


Nearly half way through the painting, I would like to just point out that this type of painting is a slow process. The first dead layer of the grey values is in positions and just about ready for another layer similar to this one to be put into position.

Before it is time to add the second dead layer a revaluation the work will need to be done. Any corrections to the painting will have to be made in the final dead layer. Also, the darks and highlights will be developed in the following layer. As soon as the next stage dries the placing of colour will begin.

  5. It will be interesting to see how it is going to turn out. For some reason working with values is relaxing for me. Yes, it is a slow process but there is nothing wrong with letting things set between layers. It is nice to see you again Gary and thanks for stopping by.
