After the 'dead layer', the first layer of color is added.
I left the spots as is, and I only concentrated on the light grey areas covering then with color.
The darker areas of the colored skin are a mix between burnt umber and
yellow ochre. The yellow ochre creates a warm color. Before adding the color, cover the object
with a thin layer of linseed oil by using your fingers. Wipe away any excess oil. Add the color with a small brush. In areas where the light strikes, add more yellow ochre; where the skin is very light, especially on the face, use yellow ochre with a little white. Some areas, like the cheeks, center of the forehead, and the ears, have more red. Create this color by adding a little bit of vermillion red to the yellow ochre. I also created a 'dead layer' for the background with dark burnt umber and white. |
