I found a better photo of a womans shoulder/head so I grafted that image onto my template and traced the new head onto my canvas and started painting the face/head. I still need to adjust the details but I like this pose better. I also need to fine tune other features but I like how it looks a lot better. The face outline doesn’t look feminine so I have to figure out why and correct it. I’m also not sure what clothes or scene she’ll be posed in at this time – simply trying to produce skin colors that don’t look awful to me and I’m getting there.

Food and wine. Will work on food next weekend. Hope wine will still be there.

Any tips on getting the candle flames reasonably correct?

For color, light a candle and look closely at it. I am assuming the white flames in the photo means you haven’t added color to them yet. As for technique, I would recommend softer edges.

I have no clue where this is going but I don’t hate it…yet.

Once I figure out the overall scene I’ll re-tone the skin accordingly.

It is really lovely, Kevin. I am getting a feeling that her negligee* is slipping off and floating on the water.

*In making sure that my spelling was correct, I see that what I once called a negligee, and rather classy, is now defined as much skimpier and trashier-looking lingerie. My apologies to anyone thinking I am envisioning the modern version. :wink2:

Whew, that’s what I was going after. If it looked like a bear squatting in the woods then I would have had to black wash the canvas and go back to painting stick figures..

At this time I want her to have red hair so I’m trying to decide what background scene/color to use to accent the colors on her.

Going to bed at this point. Some adjustments will be made on her arms, the left on her elbow point and the right has become too small. Her face also looks patchy.
