Che - Painting: The Face

The game is underway in earnest! I am now about halfway done with the face and neck of Che, and I couldn't be more pleased. 

I used what I refer to as a "short palette", sticking to strictly natural tones (+ Mars Black, given the framework of hair and the beret) applied using linseed oil as the carrier. 

More to follow. . .

UPDATE 04.03.2018. . . The face and flesh (save for the hand) are essentially done! There re- mains a considerable amount of "touch-ups, etc.", but these will be addressed throughout the remainder of the work as synthesizing elements.
