Demonstration Three

 Mass (Impressioniustic) Block-in Method

 

Use same composition as Demo One

Selected Horizontal Composition

I used the same format(Horizontal) as Demos One and Two so that the all studies can be compared to one another

Tone canvas with a grayed mix of Venetian Red and Terra Rosa.  Use a touch of viridian for graying.

Paint in largest light and dark masses in positive and negative spaces near the focal point(the face).

Continue painting  darkest darks throughout the composition to better form the composition.

 

Paint in the remainder canvas adding light and dark highlights and further refining the details as needed.
