Dante is ready to glaze, portraitbyShep

The Warm/Cool stage is now finished and as soon as he dries I'll glaze the portrait.  This glazing will probably be a little different.  As usual I'll use Venetian Green for the background, face and the color in his coat, but I'm going to try Cold Black for the black in his coat.  I think that will give him a nice shine.        It will probably take a week to dry before I can glaze, but then the finish work will start quickly after that.  How's he looking?

    Again, we just love his smile and eyes. So beautiful. He looks great.

My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog.
