WEEKLY SKETCHES

I have finished the study that I started in the previous posts.  After I finish the acrylic underpainting I cover it with a very thin coat of acrylic matte medium. I finish with oils using a dry brush technique,
If you look carefully you can see where the underpainting is showing through.

  1. are your lines (ink or pencil) on the top or bottom of all that paint? or somewhere in the middle . . .?

    1. Some of the lines are the original pencil drawing showing through. As I paint certain lines get lost or fade a bit, I bring these back up with paint. That's usually the last step.

  2. I like the colors in this piece, especially the eyes. Very unnerving.

    Really enjoyed seeing the progression from concept to final piece as well. Would love to see more stuff like that, if you have time.

  3. Your sketches have always haunted me. Your characters have souls.
