Today was a day of struggle and frustration. Two things that are pretty much inevitable when painting faces. I'm so close! But not close enough. I found myself yelling at my canvas: "Why won't you look like grandpa?! I attempted to darken the shading around the lower half of the face only to find that the colors were off. The color scheme ended up too cool in shade and needed warmer influence or he was going to look creepy. So I painted over the whole of it and started again.
Then using more brown and red hue, I re-applied the shading on the
untainted surface. It looks much better but the mouth is still off. I
know better than to work on a painting when I'm flustered so I absently
painted the uniform. It requires less concentration at the moment.
So that's where I ended tonight. I hope for better results tomorrow.
