Progress on Great Grandparents


Yay! I survived the acrylic underpainting stage (seen in my last post) and spent an hour yesterday morning with oil. Considering the many hours I spent getting a likeness of the child's face, obliterating it was a pleasure. I am after mood, play of light, color and shape relationships and edges, both lost and found.

Worked on this again today. Took the great grandfather's face farther than I will want it to be in the finished painting. Once again, my need to see a likeness before I paint over him.
