Milestone completed!

Finally I managed to sit down and to complete the wall on the painting and made a start with the other scenery in front. I have a clear idea now about the structure of the street and will make some fine progress next weeks. In front of the broken timbaal there will be some more stone and rocks.

There is some more work to do on the right wall in order to get it straight.

Hair...

After a few days of hectic communication training finally got the courage and started with the underpainting for the hair, showing more and more of the concept of the drawing. Will finish the hair this week and maybe the rest of the underpainting (challencing ambition)... Have to do a lot more on the hair (high lights, some more contrast etc.

Lazy Sunday

Not much to do this Sunday except a short visit to some frends... So picked up the brushes and made an attempt to do a serious par tof the arch.

And still looking for a good tutorial on the hair...

Spare hours..

Today I had a few spare hours alone at home. Definitely picked the opportunity to paint the arch once more. I'll give the painting one week to dry and then start with the hair. Already struggling what to place on the foreground. I show some drawings next week.

Note that the dark paint of the arch is still wet and will bleach towards the other stones (I hope....)

Still fighting the perspective...

In spite of a terrible workload I still manage to find time for painting ! Decided to whipe out most of the Arch and to redraw (still fighting perspective); the first stones will be redrawn as well. I also did work on bricks and painted a temperarily head (some of my family found it frighting to see a headless woman... ) while waiing my bricks to dry... I'm planning to paint long blond hair.
