Red Skull (Bust)-Painting (3): Rt. Forearm (I)

With the tunic done in oils, it was time to pause and reevaluate the gameplan: would the forearm best be treated as an accessory? Or would the finished piece be better served by integrating it as soon as feasible into the bust?

After much deliberation, I opted for the latter. The forearm was prepped and primed yesterday, and I undercoated the leather late last night. Today, I undercoated the sleeve of the tunic. But not before I completed a small wedge of visible trench-coat lining using the approach that served me so well earlier this year.

On the slate for tomorrow is the head, the tunic sleeve, and possibly the hand. More to follow. . .
