The entire canvas is now covered with paint and as soon as it dries (about a week) I can glaze the portrait. Colors are harsh at this stage, and even though we're getting some nice volume with the shoulder and arms, the painting is pretty two dimensional. The glaze will soften everything and push the things that belong in the background farther back.
The glaze is my favorite part of the painting process because it denotes the start of the finishing of the portrait. Sounds strange, doesn't it?
