I like this Chris. Reminds me alot of Sanden's work. Did you begin painting directly on the white canvas as it appears or did you lay a particular tone over the face first? Is this a more challenging method vs. a toned canvas? I have tried both and personally I do not find a vast difference in how I read the color values. Typically there are corrections to be made after the first "lay-in" anyway. Most feel they read the values darker when painting on a white untoned canvas. Just curious about you thoughts on this approach. Thanks!
