NAT GEO Project: Progress Shot 7

This is from yesterday. I added some darker tones of the orange and white mixture as well as some purple to the face and hands in an attempt to provide some dimension.

This is from sometime earlier this week. I did a little revision on the hand and parts of the face; adding a lighter tone of the orange and white mixture to the right side of the hand and face.

NAT GEO Project: Progress Shot 5

This is from sometime last week. I added a mixture orange and white paint to the majority of the man's face and hand. I also painted the man's iris. To do so I used a mixture of oranges, greens, and touches of white.

Painting is turning out to be more difficult than I had anticipated, lol. Working on the collar/neck area. 

NAT GEO Project: Basic Outline

The first bit of progress made after gesso-ing the paper and selecting the pictures was getting a rough outline of the major areas of the pictures to be painted. Next step, paint!

Painting Project #2: National Geographic Pictures

For this project we've covered several medium-sized sheets of paper with gesso and have chosen three National Geographic pictures (two color in color and one in black&white) to be drawn and painted on each of the sheets. I'm really excited to get started on this project. It's going to be a challenging project, but I think I'm really going to enjoy doing it and it should be fun.
