The tinting and weathering phase of the gambeson sleeves is well underway!
This has evinced itself as an ongoing series of successive glazes (using Grumbacher Oil Painting Medium I as the medium) to modulate the prevailing greenish umbers into a bluer (cooler), greyer tint.
Somewhat difficult to describe. . . all I can say is, "Know your oils and trust your eyes!" Check back often(!): there are significant tonal shifts as the oils "settle" down. I intend to be tweaking the finish of the gambeson and the leathers until I deem the bust completed!
