Yesterday I finished my first layer of paint on the figure. I think the reason I like to paint the whole figure first, before incorporating it with the background is....I like the way it looks just with a white background. (Again, probably from all my years painting in watercolor.) At this point it has a Vargas feel, which I really like! Because I had a little time left in the day to paint, I started to paint in the pillows. Today I should be able to get a good start on the background. Keeping in mind, after the whole painting drys, I will repaint it in more detail, and the colors will be more true to life...hopefully.
