Jessica -- Painting (1) - Head & Face: Day 2

The eyes--or rather, the irises--are now done. Unlike my usual approach, these were blocked-in using acrylics. Tomorrow I will hopefully be able to overpaint with oils (using Liquin as a medium), and then paint the pupils on Friday.

I also undercoated the wound; as well as laid down the venation across the exposed flesh. These will represent the normal human veins: the blight veins will be more superficial and darker, and applied over the first coat of oils, thus enhancing the sense of depth, as well as the transparency of the skin.

So far so good. I am very pleased with what is currently before me. . . I just hope I can keep on, keeping on.
