Adjustment, adjustment. Today, I worked on layering flesh colors without any light on over the canvas. I think that this technique helped me mute the shadows a lot. David's nose was a bit too wide so I had to move his eye, on the right as I view his face, over to the left.
My face is rounder in this new version, a nod to the Bernstein side.
I'm not sure about the yellow in the background.
I'm really happy with my painting session today especially since, at moments, I enjoyed using thick paint instead of delicate glazes. I love that. Something about David's head looks like Johnny Carson--but I'm not complaining!
