| I added the side to the cello. Lots more to do here. |

| This project is about texture. I dampened the paper and dropped in color. When areas of the paper were wet/shiny and not puddles I started sprinkling salt on those areas (I used a larger sea salt which makes quite the texture, but any salt will work). I avoided the puddle areas until they were a bit more dry. You can avoid putting salt on the face if you wish. |

| I mixed a dark orange brown color. I mixed it using a purple blue and an orange red (it has the orange red used in the background in it which keeps it unified). I started doing a value study on the face. I mixed a dark blue color (a green blue with some of the red orange from the background in it). I then painted the hair making sure to soften the edge around the face. I softened by using a brush clean of color and mostly dry and pull the color out from the line. I made the color a medium dark, did not want to put the darkest value on yet (and that way I can decide later if it needs to be darker) |
