WIP - pt. 2



So I decided to make the next step be some oil paints. It felt gooooood. Here are a couple of pics after about 90 minutes of wet-in-wet. Not the best pictures, and although you can still see some of the watermedia and charcoal in the piece, the camera didn't really pick it up. I'll save some of that underpainting stuff along the way and hopefully the final scan (once dry!) will pick it up for the blog.

Thanks Jesse! Yeah, it'd been far too long since I busted out the oils. I'll be getting back to this piece next week for sure and there should be several more blog posts about it along the way.

And speaking of "lovely" -- have you seen this one dude's upcoming book about Haiti? It's freaking gorgeously painted and he's packed with talent. You should check it out...
