Oil painting lesson with Gregory Smith

The fourth session. 

I started to lose the depth (form) by blending it too much. Greg put darks in shadow area, then highlights. From there, I tried to create 3D effects. 

Also, I started to lose ‘warmth’ in skin tones. Here comes the secret weapon, Cad Red! Well, I had to be very careful, otherwise it gets too pinky. 

Finally I did some work on the clothes. 

Oil on panel. 16x20 in.
