Back To Work

All of December is going to be iffy, but I hit the ground running this morning. Here's what I got done:

I'm still finding that blue sweater to be problematical. May have to tone it down a bit by mixing some of that rust wall color into the blue. Took out the distracting plastic bag in the foreground next to Bearded Guy.

Did not like what I did on the rose in the last session. Used Holbein's transparent colors (vermilion and two of the yellows) to glaze over the petals. Reasonably happy with it now; have to bring in some violet reflections here and there.

Worked very carefully on the skin tones on the hands and arms. Oh, and deepened the shadows on parts of the face.
