Day 6 of Agent Wyn A'taj

[For those just finding this blog and/or too lazy to scroll down] After Stage 5, my process moves passed the basic layers and I begin to focus on specific areas, therefore I now refer to my work by Day and not Stage. Unlike the specific Stages, it's very difficult to describe exactly what I did each Day, so I'll just state what areas were worked on.

For my work on Agent Wyn A'taj today, I focused primarily on the head and establishing the detonation box. I also did a little work re-establishing some parts of my suit.

Stage 5 of Agent Wyn A'taj

Yesterday I worked a little bit on Agent Wyn A'taj. Although I'm calling it Stage 5, it was more like Stage 4.5. All I did was put another layer of the shadow mix in the background and a little throughout the suit. Then I put some Titanium White in for the shirt's cuffs and collar and a little of the flesh mix in for the hands and face.

Day 4 of Agent Wyn A'taj

Today I painted in a transparent layer of a shadow mix comprised of Alizarin Crimson, Viridian Hue, and Payne's Gray over the background and started blocking in the red leisure suit with my Alizarin Crimson & Indian Red mix. I've got an Art&Crafts fair to attend tomorrow, but starting Saturday the real fun begins when I have to focus on actually rendering elements.

Stage 3 of Agent Wyn A'taj

For my Stage 3, I painted a transparent layer of Veridian Hue over the red mix layer.

Stage 2 of Agent Wyn A'taj

For my Stage 2, I painted an oil transparent layer of a mix of half Alizarin Crimson and half Indian Red over my base layer of acrylic Ultramarine Blue.

Stage 1 of Agent Wyn A'taj: Projection

For Stage 1, I first printed a sepia version of my source image and used that to project my composition onto my canvas. I used Ultramarine Blue acrylic paint to establish forms and values.
