Colour control


Colour control and it is all about colour as well as water control and here the same dark tone for his beard was painted underneath his nose and it is a good Colour controlidea to keep colours throughout the portrait related. Notice the areas of bare white paper, these are the highlights.

 

 

 

Colour control

Darker areas for the eyes goe in aswell as the lips which are made up of cadmium red a touch of yellow ochre and ultramarine blue.



 

Colour control

Background colours go in here,  make good use of what you see in backgrounds. The raw sienna has ballooned out into the almost dry ultramarine blue this is because the blue had almost dried but I'm not really bothered about this because I can scrub the colour with a new colour and it will be fine as you will see.


 

Colour control

The hair goes in here with a mixture of ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and a touch of alizarin.

 


 

Colour control

The first layer of the hair is just about finished here and notice the tone just beneath the fringe of the hair which was put in wet in wet. Also notice the right background area which look fine now, remember the ballooning!

 

 

Colour control

More form is added to the hair and the beard is put in darker.
