There are some issues with this, the paint was getting tacky by the time I applied the last layer, so working edges didn't go as planned. However this is still the best thing I've ever painted and I am so excited to start on Annie!
Morgan Weistling
Really good. Some of the edges on cheek and jaw too hard but you should be happy with it

My try with this one. Was way easier to approach this one after all the other demos. I have a hard time when I'm continuing on a already dried painting (2-3 day break). In materials list Morgan you mention this: "I also use Grumbacher Damar Retouch Varnish gloss— I spray this on my painting if I am going to paint over dry parts of my painting from previous days. I couldn’t exist without this product." What does this actually do? I dont think you touched on it in the demos, or if you did I missed it :) Thanks a lot and huge thanks for the whole course!
Morgan Weistling
when a couple days go by, the darker areas will oxidize and dry out lighter than when you first put down the paint. the retouch varnish brings it back to the correct value.

As I post this I can see the left side of the forehead is too light so I know that's what I'll go into on the next session. I have never painted anything this good and painterly, I am so excited about what I am learning in this course. Thank you!!!!
Morgan Weistling
You doing great. Keep following the steps.

You’ve done well on all three.

My attempt to focusing on edges. This was fun! Had some problems with smudging the tracing paper with my hand over and over though.
Morgan Weistling
I can tell you learned a lot. These are excellent

This took me a lot longer than the first one. I tried my best, but I’m kind of nervous about how the painting portion will go.
Morgan Weistling
I think you are ready. Go for it. Follow the steps
Eric Lee
Refine the painting. Should I push the values further?
Morgan Weistling
You know what? This is really turning out good
Niklas Nilsson
Tried desperately to not get drawn into shading and trying to make “a pretty picture”. 😅. This was very hard and took forever. Very good exercise.
Morgan Weistling
Good job! You’re still off on some of the measurements like the top of the ear. Little things like that actually do make a difference.

You need to fill in your shadows on the side of the face to all the darker and part of the shadow family
