I thought I would post this painting so far. I am not done yet, but you can see the succession of layers that I did in these. I only used antwerp blue, permanent rose, quinacridone gold, and cad yellow light to do the whole painting. I already had several layers done by the first picture. I drew my picture on and then masked off part of it to stay white. Then I poured paint on it and let the paint run and mix. I let this dry and then added another layer of masking. Then I poured again. I would say that I had about eight layers before I took all of the masking off. When I did that, more paint than I had expected came off with it so I had to darken some areas of it again. The two sides that show the background were too dark so I lightened those area up again. I still have more to do on this to darken the neck area and possibly try to darken the decorative part under his chin. I will see. I hope to finish this soon a it is a lot more work than I thought it would be. However, I am having a lot of fun with it!
