This is a painting
completed in February 2005. It was a Portrait Class project that I decided
to finish in my spare time after the workshop. It probably took a total
of around 65-75 hours to complete. The small images are step by step photographs
taken during the painting process, and the large image is the final painting
after detail and skin texture are added with an eraser and colored pencil.

Detail
of final painting showing skin texture. Subtle nuances created by an xacto
knife, an eraser, and some colored pencil can build convincing skin texture.
The etcetera technique also helps the believability of the skin and hair
texture. Fine hair is created using my shield-reveal technique, and my
split frisket technique. Airbrush constitutes about 99% of the image.
