METHODS - Step by Step

Halfway to Finish

    Here is the painting approximately halfway to the finish. At this point, I've laid down colors that will remain, and have taken areas like the face and pillow close to finish.

     Everything is subject to adjustment as the picture progresses. Some existing colors may be enhanced or subdued depending on how they fit into the whole.
