Hello to all!
This is my third and the most complex oil project (after a little trip to pastel and charcoal.)
It is from the book
How to Paint Like the Old Masters, by Joseph Sheppard. If anyone has this book, this is the second project from the chapter "Techniques of Titian".
I fought a very long time with the hands (my first and last
) Both are in tricky positions.
Size is 30" x 24". My first self-made canvas. The last two layers of gesso were mixed with marble-powder, then sanded. (I believe that was a tip from Michael Georges.)
Underpainting is a mixture of ivory black and titanium white (called halfpaste in the book.) The cape in the book is made with umber or sienna. I made all with this halfpaste, don't ask me why. (Crazy.)
Has anyone a good tip to make curly hair? Her hair is much more curly. I'll try it with a little blending brush.
More or less I'm happy with it.
May I trouble you for any comments? Thank you all and best wishes.
