Making Progress on Progress Thomas


Things are moving along. I've completed some modeling of the larger portrait and the garments on both figures. As I've worked on this painting, I've realized that I was too cavalier with the early layers of sponged on paint--I'm having to do extra work to mask the rough edges and textures between the colors. I'm hoping it won't matter once I've applied enough layers cross hatching. Time will tell. The first image is of the entire piece. The lower left image is a detail of the right figure. The small image on the lower right shows the tracing I keep handy to reestablish the drawing when it gets lost in the layers of paint. I'm getting an early start tonight--should be working by 7:30 PM.
