Hptm. Walther Karjus--Painting II: Flesh

Phase I of the flesh areas of the figure (i.e., the face) are now done. 

As with Natalya, given the scale, I approached the eyes "old school": no distinct chromatic iris, and simple outlining. The face itself was executed using controlled layering (read: glazing) of a limited palette using minimal amounts linseed oil as my primary medium. A couple of more sessions to selectively "highlight" details ought to just about do it. . . 

Finally, I blocked-in (read: UCed) the hair with Raw Umber Light. . .
