Y'know, I overpaint. If I had just drawn some hair on picture number 1, then glazed over it that would have been fine. Perfectionism is the enemy of progress.
So I decided to add the flesh tones over the brown.
Now she looks like she's put a ton of pancake make-up on. It's time to stop for the day. Maybe tomorrow I will gesso and start again.

Dixie,
She is coming along nicely! I like her coloring in the photo. Take a rest and you will see her differently in the morning. She is beautiful already!
Hugs,

Ah painting...the bain of my existence. I have found for me, the dry brush stipling technique works well for building the color. I go back and forth between 3-4 different skin tones when I do this. I love how the brown underpainted one looks. You go girl!
