As I keep saying, the final glazes are pretty much nothing but fun.
Today, in addition to painting the kitchen trim (we do it every thirty years, whether it needs it or not), I started refining the portrait.
1. I lightened the background to make the hat stand out.
2. I thinly glazed the shirt with ultramarine blue; may add one more layer.
3. I widened the left arm even though it was technically correct, the blouson covering part of it; even so, it seemed too thin; still not right so may reclaim some of the shirt.
4. I glazed the sunlit skin with a thin mixture of transparent yellow and alizarin crimson.
5. Decided on a title: think it will be either "So Like her Mother" or "Back at You."
Feel free to cast a vote. I'm open to new ideas too.
