The Woodsman....

My good friend, Ted...visited this weekend, and had to throw my coyote cap on him outdoors before he left.  Difficult to find willing models here in Wisconsin's north woods.  This is 18"x 14" oil on panel with pumice in the ground.  Using a modified Zorn palette...first day.

My typical attack has been to mix up a midvalue, holding a paint knife of the color up to the face to compare...then block the whole of the face.  Thereafter I mix my darks and lights and paint wet into wet.  A way that proves efficient and fairly quick for my alla prima preferences...
