I used an oversize brush. Well, a bit oversize. It's a 3/8" flat brush - at around 9.5mm, that's almost a seventh of the size of the canvas. I included it in most of the in-progress shots; as you can see, I only reverted to the rigger for the facial features and a few fine lines in the very last shot.
1. "Monochrome" underpainting: burnt umber, ultramarine and white. All done with the flat brush. | 2. Yellow added. . . . | 3. Burnt sienna appears
on the palette. . . |
4. Most of the colour is painted now. (Photo auto-white-balanced because of encroaching darkness!) | 5. Black added with flat brush . . (Flash photo) | 6. Fine detail added with rigger. . . . (Flash photo) |
