| I left off here ... |
 |
| I've lifted some of the color from the robe - it was too warm. And I have deepened the shadows on the left of his face with a w/w wash, and done a bit of detail work around the eyes.. |
 |
| More of a close-up. This is why I am in love. It is the serenity and impression of quiet inner strength. |
 |
| Working on the pillars - painting the shadows first. |
 |
| Then a wash of quin. burnt orange with quin. violet. It looks like it will need more wood color, as well as more shadowing. I am going to reluctantly put the monk aside for today, and head into Vancouver to deliver the dreaded bridge painting to John, and have a visit with the family. While you are here, I invite you to visit Gallery at the Farm. As always, your comments are most welcome. |

ReplyDeleteYour portrait is much more than a painting of a person - it is a rendition of inner tranquility. Really wonderful, Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteBello, mi piacciono i colori prima del lavaggio, con i toni più caldi anche se meno visibile lo stacco fra ombra e luce.
