Getting there more and more

Too much work,for lifing, too less time for paintizng.... Started with glazing the girl. Some more layers to go. Also made a start with darkening the shadows....

The dress

Just glaced the dress using a very transparent light blue (cools shades) and Titan White warmed up with Transparant oxyde Red and the first layer for the skin tones. Skin tones will give you an everlasting discussion. How to do and what are the real colors. What works fine for me: an underpainting highlighted in titan white, a first layer of Still de Grain Yellow after drying a second layer of transparant oxid red highlighted with Titan White (warmed up a bit with Still de Grain Yellow). This will give a perfect Kaukasian skin tone.

Will try to finish the rocks this week, mainly setting deep shadows... and see what to do with the water, if anything.

A step back or just forwards...?

Not completely happy with the perpective in the right corner (and some other points) I decide to make some corrections before starting to glaze the girl and the shades.

I had to correct something in the water stream, they are still in underpainting.

Old versus New

Rocks in full color

Currently finished with the ground color for the rocks. Looks quite warm now however I will start to cool down with blue glace. Will be quite dark in some shades.
