Part
III: Eye Brows
|
|
Step
1 (Base) - Paint
the eye brow area with a wash of burnt sienna and turpentine.
The wash should be applied only in the brow area and paint
should settle in the deep recesses of the sculpture.
|
|
Step
2 (Mid Highlights) -
Mix
(3) parts flat white to (1) part Gelb (Yellow) for blonde
highlights. "Dry brush" the color to the raised areas
of the eyebrows. Dry brushing is a process of first wiping most
of the paint from the brush then gently dragging the brush over
the surface of paint area. The paint will adhere to the raised
areas and will not seep into the deep areas.

|
Step
3 (Dark Shadow Wash) - Thin
the raw umber with turpentine to create a very light wash. Wash
the eyebrows with the mixture.
|
|
Step
4 (Final Highlight) -
White
(Shown for best contrast)- Dry brush flat white using stiff
brush
Blonde - Mix
(5) parts flat white to (1) part Gelb (Yellow) then Dry Brush.
Brunette-
Dry brush flat brown using stiff brush
Black- Dry
brush flat black using stiff brush
|
|
Step
5 (Dullcote) - Spray
the whole sculpture with dullcote to blend and seal.
