Painting a series for China called Coincidental. Her is another one in that series. This one I am sharing in steps... Enjoy!
Step 1. After applying masking fluid at the high lights I am wetting the sheet from both sides and painting mid tones on wet. Then I am letting it dry and removing the masking.
Step 2. I am choosing a focal point in my painting and starting defining details in full strength of color and tone.
Step 3. I am moving from a focal point to a side working continously without gaps. If my eye goes from the main figure to the far left corner I am going with my defining brush the same way.
Step 4. I am coming back to the main figure.
Step 5. I am strengthen the tone of the foreground.
Step 6. I am defining some constractional details and assessories.
