| 1) The figure is
first sprayed with primer and left to dry overnight. |
2) The face is
painted with an undercoat of acrylic flesh colour |
 |
 |
| 3) A coat of basic
flesh of water soluble oil is added. The colour consist of white +
yellow ochre + burnt sienna + a small amount of red. Also I had
started to add area of darker colour to the shadow area which is
basic flesh + burnt umber and blunt sienna. At this stage, I also
added the eyes too |
4) I usually start
with the eyes first. I think it's always safer to finish the eyes
first as it is surrounded by the flesh colour. First I painted the
eyes with dark blue, next I added a lighter blue to give the eyes
more depth. |
 |
 |
| 5) black line and
pupils are added |
6 - 8) start
smoothing the shadow area colour with the flesh tone colour |
 |
 |
| 7) |
8) white color is
also added to highlight area |
 |
 |
| 9) Raw Umber and
blue grey is added to the lower jaw |
10 - 12) the blue
grey and raw umber is blended with the flesh colour |
 |
 |
| 11) |
12) Using
water soluble oil is much faster and the head is finished within two
hours. I used to paint the face with acrylic which usually takes
twice as much time to come up with the same result. |
 |
 |
| 13) both sides of
the face finished. I left the figure to dry overnight. |
14) The face is then
given several coat of dull clear spray |
