hi Friends,
I am about to "finish" the portrait of my nephew, Emil, 13, that I had started about 1 year ago out of a kind of boredom and because of his ressemblance to my when I was his age. It was painted on canvas, 60 x 40 cm and primed with acrylics, the color that is still visible und helped to build the skintones. then I "finished" it in oils, not knowing if it is really finished. Oils are applied onle in transparent layers, I restrict myself to a very limited palette nowadays: Lead white, Titanium White, Indian Yellow, Alizarin, Ultramarine Blue. No Black, instead mixing my paints to a very dark value.
I may add finishing touches but for now will present him with this painting for his birthday.
c&c as always welcome!
*keep your brushes wet*
