The snow cover is setting-up quite nicely and very effectively! It should be fully cured by tomorrow morning. . .
Now it's time to take care of the remaining painting. . .
- The plackart has been uc'd, basecoated, and Phase I of weathering has been completed.
- The boots are now done. As per usual, I will "touch-up" as needed once the oils are dry; but these will be minor tweaks.
- Tomorrow I will start touching-up the tunic and the belt. . . this should be relatively minor--more at chromatic enhancement/integration than any real touch-ups.
- Tomorrow I hope to begin finalizing the head/face. .
More to follow!
FOLLOW-UP. . . The left iris/pupil is done! Assuming it is dry tomorrow, I can apply the blue chromatic overglaze to the left eye. . .
UPDATE - 18.10.2022. . . Phase 1 of the head /face--including the 'blue eye'--is now DONE! Save for the sword blade, and the wrap on the left wrist, the entire figure is now in the oils phase of the painting. I anticipate completion of the figure within the fortnight. . .
