The eyes--sans pupils--and the deep eye-shadow umbrae are now done! It truly is a testament to the quality of the sculpture and casting that this was one of the easiest set of eyes I have ever painted!!
I also applied a light grisaille of black around the lips and the deep folds of the upper lip--pre-shading, if you will. I then blocked-in the red of the lips, taking special care around Cupid's bow; and base-coated the eyebrows. . .
Movin' right along. . .
FOLLOW-UP. . . Phase I of the face is now essentially done! The next step is finalizing the straitjacket before transferring the bust to its permanent display base.
