Oil painting lesson with Gregory Smith

Today, I started to put ‘skin tone’ on the canvas. That’s where I struggle. I have a bad habit of losing warmth, ending up dreadful mud. 

There were a lot of fine tuning going on. I need to calm down a bit, trying to focus on observing the shapes rather than rushing into details. 

Again, Joshua did a great job sitting for us. He’s very patient. 

We have one more session next week. 

Work in progress. 16x20 in.
