One reason I settled on this method of portrait painting is because it gives me the option of working on a large swath of the painting or on a tiny one, depending on how I feel and what time restraints the particular day is affording me. in the spring and early summer, if my pain level can tolerate it, i want to be out doors and in the garden. . All the while my portrait of the moment is calling me. Today, after my out door time, I chose to add a layer of depth to the flesh tone. Of course, I couldn’t just brush it on, no, it needed the finesse of brights, then I saw some darks where needed, then hair, then one thing after another. So it is eight in the evening and I still want to make a tiny correction. Well, what can I say. This is how it goes. I am grateful. hugs, Diana
