Anatomy of a Painting part 3

Here you can see where I developed the nose up towards the same level as the cheeks on either side of it.
As far as the face is concerned, it isn't that much more developed.  Being that this is a shot of the whole painting it is harder to see the face.  I worked on the lips and pushed the shadows on the left of the face so that the new elements would be coordinated.  I applied another layer of color in the hair.  Also in this view of the painting you can see where I laid out more of the grey in the shirt in oils over the acrylic.

Anatomy of a painting part 2

If you look at the left side of the face, you can see that it is more developed than the right. The forehead and the left side of the face have an extra layer of paint.

Here you can see a more of the painting, at the same stage of development.
I worked a little more on the right side of the face, adding another layer of paint.


Here is a closer look. You can see how the lip nose and chin is still in one phase and the rest of the face has been developed more.
