At this point, block in the colors and form of the hair. Don’t get lost in the details of the hair! All that is needed is to introduce the colors and shape of the hair so that any weakness in the colors or shape of the face and head that are needed will show up. If your colors are weak or too strong, it will show up at this point. Make any adjustments that are needed, spraying the colors in the same order as originally done. To deepen any of the dark areas use ‘Sepia’ lightly and slowly build up to the desired color. To make these shadow areas a bit deeper- use blue very lightly over the shadow.


The hand and forearm are done the same way as the head. The depth of the colors is the only difference in how this is painted. The observations you make of your subject are what you will want to rely on here. Is the subject tanned or pale? How this question is answered will determine how you paint. As a rule, the hands and arms are more exposed to the sun and weather. Therefore, they are darker in tone compared to the rest of the body.
