I wanted to work in only neutral colours but because Josh is the centre of interest, I didn't want to have the same tone as him to reduce conflicts.<BR/><BR/>The process was like this:<BR/><BR/>1. Sketch of detailed drrawing in H pencil on primed panel.<BR/><BR/>2.Using liquitex slow dri medim with Ultramarine blue nd Burnt Umber, I build successinve layers until the work is rich in tone, just like a watercolour.<BR/><BR/>3. Then I use black, blue then yellow biros to recover the drawing and to depict movement of form and shape all over.<BR/><BR/>4. I start to mix white acrylic with impasto medium to create textures on places I would like textures.<BR/><BR/>5. I then use coloured pencil to temper some areas to have motion and some sensitivity.<BR/><BR/>6. I finally come back with only black biro to draw over the main detail lines and dark shadows.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-91520309974600798362009-02-13T17:52:00.000+00:002009-02-13T17:52:00.000+00:00Adebanji, What a great piece and I like ...Adebanji, What a great piece and I like that it's not the typical sitting in the barber chair look. I love that you have some color only on you. The texture on the shirt of your son is wonderful too.
