"The Face of Crime" - Painting: Oils - Black (1)

I decided to leave the eyes for now, jumping to the black of the jacket collar, shirt, waistcoat, and pocket square. 

This was easily managed using the blacks at my disposal, as well as mixing a proprietary warm- ish black. Carefully applied, it was a breeze to paint--again underscoring the importance of proper canvas preparation--and application.

More to follow. . .  

UPDATE -  30.01.2020. . . The initial blacks are dry-to-the-touch, but still tackier than I'd like. The head will be permanently attached sometime this weekend. . . 31.01.2020--DONE!
