I have not been writing for a couple of days as we try to understand French tax laws which is interesting to say the least. I have now begun to block in the lightest tone of paint on the face of my portrait of Michael. I have been experimenting with using the dry scrumbling of the paint at the edges of a tone. This has always been an area of interest for me. I absolutely love the Freud way of using colour but maybe I need to wait until I have more confidence to have ago at that. I am working from the model shown me by one of my tutors. It feels challenging. I have today added some darker tones and have studied the eye demonstration that he shared with me. I show you here my painting as it currently is in all its horror and completed demo of the eye done by one of the tutors, which I will use as my guide tomorrow when I tackle the eyes.
