With the torso uc'ed/"blocked-in", it was time to start playing with the oils. . .
On this project, the whites are more of a stain/grisaille over the white primer-undercoat. This is more of an illustrative approach to maximize depth and volume vs. textile textures in the relatively small surface area provided by the scale.
As of this writing, Phase I of the waistcoat is done. Stark highlights remain to be done: these will be done in acrylics once the oils are "dry".
FOLLOW-UP. . . Phase II of the waistcoat is DONE! The waistcoat has been effectively complet- ed, but now comes the multi-media tweaking that will maximize contrast and tonal variance on the achromatic canvas. . . The tweaking will be executed over the remaining duration of the pro- ject.
