With "Dante" I'm combining the Grisaille and Warm/Cool stages. Most of the painting this weekend has been in the cool range with his beautiful coat. The warm will come with his nose and smile. For his background we'll try an outdoor green first and see how it looks.
Is this a happy face or what? Just makes you feel good.
Shep's "Dante" takes shape
