A Beautiful Face “Grisaille study in oil”

I wanted to do a quick study just to test out a few things I am working toward. Here is a 30 to 40 minute quick block in I did then smoothed out with a quick blend. I was shooting for likeness and just what I could do in a short period of time.

For a 30 to 40 minute grisaille, I am quite pleased, though I see a lot of room for refinement which I would do if this was more than just a quick study. A little more refinement then I would let the paint dry then come back and lay in a nice layer of liquin, then I would let that dry over night then begin to glaze in color layers.

Well anyway, I have a few more studies I am working on over the next few days I will try and get them posted. Oh, please excuse the can I painted to the left, it was just a warm up nothing more.
