There are two major "sub-canvases" that comprise this piece: the straitjacket, which was done yesterday; and the head/face/flesh. Normally, I would have done this second "sub-canvas" next, adhering to the painting version of "Hund's bus seat rule"; however, the unique flesh-tone allows me to do the collar and the neck at one sitting.
The scrub's collar is done in institutional orange, using Liquitex Cadmium-Barium Red Light as a base. The inner surface of the collar is in turn shaded with the addition of Payne's Grey--not very carefully, I might add. The resulting mix is then methodically feathered and drawn-up the neck as a dry grisaille that doubles as the shade. Nothing could be simpler!
