Head Study #113

This is another John Singer Sargent charcoal portrait that I'm colorizing in watercolor.  The last study I had painted the blue in watercolor and I thought that was turning grey rather than blue.  So I figure that an opaque paint, like gouache, would not turn grey.  So I've made an order and should arrive someday this week.  I'll then back update when I've done the last stage.

Paper: NY Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 11 x15"
























Update: My dry brushing technique is coming along.  This one is smaller, there is not much room for changes.  I stopped before I wrecked it.
