So today I continued working on my self portrait.
Yesterday I wrote about the sometimes ugly beginning and today I'm writing about the more enjoyable ( in my opinion) second layer where everything is starting to melt into place. One of the big benefits of summer in Portugal is that my oilpaintings litteraly dry over night. This is great because if it's one thing I don't like its painting on top of half sticky paint.
This is the result after todays session;
This is the painting today vs how I left it yesterday.
Today I worked a lot on the drawing and also on the values. I had to do some serious correction on some of the features including the nose. One thing that is a big shame is the colors in the photos.. They're pretty off and I don't know why.. Ive tried to edit them, but they still look a bit off... oh well...
Here are some process shots;
