sneak peek

My latest project. This time I am using an old technique I learned in college. Underpainting in grays, then will go on top with thin layers of oil color. I’m trying to achieve a high level of detail here. I usually do NOT have the patience to paint with such detail. I tend to go straight with color and paint with loose brush strokes… I am enjoying this very much though, and looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

UPDATE: just finished the underpainting… now on to color!
