Portrait painting in progress

I worked on this paining for4 days of our second week with Carl Dobsky. I finished the color wash and began applying the first pass with the medium and I'm planning a second and a third until it looks right. I began topaint form painting with the medium in on the left cheak and the forhead. I have not worked on the nose in progression as of yet but will plan to complete the painting pending time with the model.

Self Porgrait In progress 8-6-09

8-6 I reworked the left eye a bit more and gradated the forhead just a few minutes of time today.


8-4 I took my time today and worked many parts of the drawing during our BACAA Tuesday class. I set up the easel in front of me and put up a small 12 x 14 mirror. I faced the north window at Barrett hall.
I worked the eyes I paid close attention to the eyelids and lower lids. I reshaped the left side of the nose and paid attention to the terminator on as the dark light turns into the terminator. I also reshaped the lips and eyebrows. I worked a bit on the hair strands and lightend and shaped the forms on the forehead.

I worked a bit more on my self portrait at Barrett hall today in between teaching. I reshaped the left eye. I dropped down the shadows on the left temple and forhead. I also worked on the upper right lip. I'm almost there just need to work on darkening the hair.
