RMweb Premium Gedward Posted July 11, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 11, 2021 So starting with a photoshoot. And for portraits the lighting setup is crucial. After selecting the 'one' from dozens of shots, the image is drawn onto the canvas. Next I paint a grisaille - an underpainting. This acts as a way of marking out your main tonal values. And acts like a road map for the later colour stages. The big advantage here is that you don't need to make colour decisions early on, and so can concentrate on form only. I then mix up several flesh tones and store them in small jars. As the painting can take anything up to 3 months to complete. The flesh tones are roughly painted to start with. Then on the subsequent layers everything is refined and tweaked. The beauty of this method is that, as the final layers become quite translucent, you can see through to some of the underlying layers. This gives the skin a more natural feel and texture. 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gedward Posted July 12, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) If you'll forgive me turning this thread into an episode of Art Attack. This portrait of Bobby, is a good example of translucency using several glazes. When completed in 2004, my young daughter took one look at the work and said. "Wow, you've even painted his tubes". She meant his veins. I actually didn't paint them, it just looks like I did. As you can see through the top layers down to the grey underpainting below.
