I copied an old charcoal study onto canvas and used alot of thinner and a little paint to do a semitransparent wash, then I stained and wiped areas to create lights and darks. After that I worked up certain hues on some highlights and shadows. Then I arbitrarily covered the guys head in gesso. Next i flipped thru my sketches and decided to do a modified Korwar mug on him, threw in some NW style totem ears, and then later some expressionistic work. Thank u LLT! Someday it will happen! Finished piece.. Mahaloz.
