Portrait of young boy


Here's the start of portrait # 2. Again, I've used the glazes, starting with an underpainting made from burgundy and yellow glaze, and a hint of thalo blue acrylic in the shaded areas. With the shapes laid in, the next painting session will be the refinement of the tones, colors, and values. These canvases (sp?) are very "used friendly", measuring only 12x12 , and are the extra deep thickness. The ethnic costume on this subject very much appeals to me.
