Mark (in progress)

Slowly is the word with these paintings, but I am enjoying the results of every session. One of my new favorite things to do is toggle back and forth between old and new pictures. Sometimes, it is a little discouraging because the only difference is a slight change in the picture. But sometimes is is really dramatic, and the improvements really stand out. For example, I redid parts of the collar and shirt. The changes I made were not huge, but the effect is. Try scrolling up and down the page to compare the collars for yourself.

Just lightening up those shadows on the face made me look so much less freaky. Although, there is still much to be done in the upcoming layers.

This underpainting is the staging for a scene from the mountains of the French Alps, with shades of purple and blue rocks overgrown by green grasses and various flowers. I have had this image in my idea box since I took the picture 4 years ago, so I am looking forward to finally painting it.
