Another Portrait from Beginning to End

Sketch

Grays for shadows

Start flesh tones and eyes.
It really is looking quite scary at this point!

Hair roughed in. More color in the face.

Yet more hair and face colors.

Two glazes of a black in shadow areas of cap. I wanted to use ultramarine, and it doesn't go as dark as I needed here.


I painted light and scrumbled colors for the gown, and  an irregular wash/application of ultramarine for the background. I may have to glaze a bit of pink over part of her face, as the blue seems to have drained some of the color from her face, but I'll wait till tomorrow, when I can see it in daylight.

As always, your comments are most welcome.
