As you can see since the last post, I've worked mostly on Nathan and a few other places. This was done mostly with neutrals and some local color.

More adding of neutrals and adjusting the values, i.e. the lights and darks.

Just neutrals have been added. The drawing is starting to be a little more definite.

Now I've started to add the neutrals and to define Nathans portrait a little better. The form is carried by these neutrals.

More color has been added and I'm aiming at balancing the warms and cools before I start to put the neutrals in.

The colors are getting more vivid as I keep adding to what is already there trying to build up the paint surface. This is somewhat slow as the colors take a while to dry and I like working on dried or almost dry paint.

Well a lot has happened since the last post. I've been putting in color, not necessarily color seen but felt. The local color and the neutrals will be put in later. The forms seem stronger now which points up the fact that a change of color is always stronger than a change of tone.
