Still painting traditionally this week, applying some of Payne's techniques to my portraits. I like this one, but I had to go over the wash stage with several layers of paint before I reached what I was looking for. I want to get to that point in one or two layers, not take all day. I am betting that's how the old timey illustrators got things done, by getting it right the first or second time. I suppose that comes with practice.
This picture is painted with a mix of oils, acrylics, colored pencil, and even a teeny layer of watercolor. It truly is mixed media.
