I brushed on a layer of linseed oil and dug into the details of Ali’s portrait.  I think it now needs one more loosening up pass… I sorta killed the live in the brush strokes of the previous version.

Started a painting of Al last night.  The idea here is to block in the colors rough and then try my hand a glazing once it dries to soften up the facial features.

week 7 and the f’d up left eye… I like the shawod colors in this one, but the drawing wasn’t there from the start. Below is a painting I started on monday… trying to use sean’s wood panel method.
