Joker - Arkham: Painting--Oils - Intermezzo I

In order to let the bust itself rest, I spent the remaining time this evening working on the hand. The main focus was the blade of the straight razor, or, more appropriately, cutthroat razor. This was given two or three wet coats of Vallejo black, allowing each preceding coat to dry before applying the next. 

Once that was done, I applied a grisaille of Vallejo black over the entire hand, creating a tonal landscape over the white primer. Once this is thoroughly dry, I will decide whether to continue applying acrylic grisailles, or paint it in oils. 

Movin' right along. . .
