Decided to have fun and did this little gouache study. At this point at did no blending at all. Let's now have double fun and start using some "water glazing" to soften some of those sharp edges.
I might have gone a bit all over the place with the colors here...

don't lose the overall average light of his skin color and value. You may lose control of it all if you are not careful. Let's see what you do with edges now.

Yesterday I went ahead and moved to the next phase but only to realize 2 issues: 1. My middle light was too light and 2. Some of the drawing was annoyingly off (eyes, nose, lips and side contour of the face). I could have moved on and tried to fix that on the go but this is not a race and I want this learning experience to result in the best possible painting I can produce with my current abilities. So I decided to take a step back, fix the drawing issues as much as I could and cover the whole light area with what I started to use for my half tones. I think this already looks better :-)

Reminds me of the paint by number paintings my mother made when I was a kid. There were also colored pencil paint by number sets you could buy at your local art store. Anyone remember those?

Not an easy task to handle the wet paint. I’m a bit worried about the next phases as things could go very messy quite fast. It’s amazing how Morgan manages to layer the paint stroke after stroke with such confidence and an awesome result.

Very good. when you start the next stage use the average light to make any refinements you see necessary to get at accurate as you can.

Given my little experience with oil pain I’m pretty happy with how it looks so far. Let’s keep pushing play!
