Still at it, we had another session with the model for 3 hours, where I immediately went after a shape that was wrong on the forehead, corrected the lay in of the ear, and spent the remainder of our time working on half tones and some drawing. Began to add some indications of the features, delaying that as long as possible to prepare the underlying work.
The images are a bit overexposed here, washed out, something happens in the translation from Iphoto that I’ve yet to figure out.
Never underestimate the power of fatigue on one’s judgement at the end of a session, everything can look wrong at 9:30 PM. So far, I’m feeling confident about this one, now that it’s a day behind me.

Very nice. I thought it was lighting or underpainting or artistic license or something. Imagine my surprise when we had Marty at UH this morning and I found out he really went blond! REALLY blond. Whoa.
Thanks, Barbara.
Marty is an absolute pleasure to paint…he has the gift of knowing when he is in pose and staying there.
