Jon Snow - Painting: Intermezzo I

While 'glaze 1' settles on the face, I decided to get ahead of the game and paint the neckwrap and the mandarin collar of Jon's doublet. This is very much the first step, especially for the neck- wrap; but once the flesh is done, I will be free to permanently attach the head to the torso, and immerse myself in a tonal textural exercise in black. . .
