Hi
Here Ill be posting the latest update on my painting, since I've worked on the hands and the book I thought I should post some detail shots so that everyone would be up to date on how the painting is looking so far up close there is a lot of detail work I've painted that was just not visible in the previous posts, ISA tomorrow I'll start building up the portrait.
I've changed my medium (the previous one had too much oil) I used stand oil turpentine and dammar varnish 1-1-1 and as for the glaze I used the same contents only 4 times the amount of turpentine. Got it from Robert Massey's book.
I've been skumbling the tones of her right hand (our left) to build them up gradually, gave me some degree of control in that very tiny area specially in the fingers.
This has been one tough experience and I've been learning a lot from it..hopefully when I repaint it again I'll be much faster.... jk
Hope you all enjoy
