6) Once the frisket is replaced on the skulls, I move back onto the mechanical arms to add Opaque Deep Red to the gaps, hoses and also the woman’s lips. I wanted a bright color that would work to compliment the Teal look of the arms and back ground as well as bring some definition into the arms. Transparent Black was used to shade the outer edges of the Red to give it a bit more of an illuminated look and sink these areas into the composition. Rather than re- place all of those little frisket pieces, I just used a low-tack masking tape to re-mask these areas. This saves both time and sanity. I’m done with those areas for now any ways and this way I won’t have to worry about the frisket lifting when I spray the background.


7) Time to move on to the woman. Starting with the hair, I try to remember how many times I’ve been told to spray ‘fields’ and not individual strands. Opaque Raw Sienna is used to establish a flow and movement and Burnt Umber is used to achieve depth and shadows.


8) As with the hair, the basic form of the woman’s body was achieved with Sienna. Resist any urge you may have to use black at this stage! (Black, no matter how lightly it is sprayed, only seems to give skin a muddy appearance.) Rather Burnt Umber is used to strengthen some of the con- tours and shadows. Transparent Sienna was then misted sparingly to add some ‘rose color’ to the skin. As much of this is achieved freehand as possible - as it is extremely dif- ficult to establish a natural, smooth transition with a brush or colored pencil.
