Wigs And Shades, © 2018, work in progress (click on image for larger view)
This is a blog about painting: specifically, representational fine art, generally, using oil paint. I think a lot about what I'm doing, and those thoughts about subject matter, technique, influences, frustrations and delights all show up here. It's all about the journey.

Darker
One mistake that I make on a regular basis is to avoid going as dark as I should, or maybe in some cases the paint just dries lighter than it looked when it went on. I didn't have a lot of time to work today, but I did darken a few areas, and modeled the cheekbones on the mannequin at upper left. I'm also spending a lot of time really looking at things, trying to understand what's going on before I try to translate it with the brush.
