I like to draw and paint people -- women, men, old and young; children. Yesterday I flipped over an unsuccessful painting (yes, there are many!) and sketched the outline of a woman with red hair. I applied initial light-valued washes.
Next, I applied mid-light washes, using same colors.
Finally added mid-value color, more detail. Is the painting finished? Stephen Quiller says that it's better to stop at 95 percent completion -- five percent BEFORE you think it's done rather than five percent after.
Loving this - and your other recent works - the variety! The color! The line! Ahhh....thank you for sharing.
