Same old same old

Not much going, nothing new anyhow.
touched up the Adam West. I think its okay. Had an okay moment when I used an orange for the lips instead of the red. This makes them stand out less but keeps them warm and fleshy. It might be a useful bit of info for the future.
I started messing around with the water colors. Certainly room for improvement but not so painful.

Otherwise it's more works on CB. I am tempted to be all painterly on Poirot's face. Work on the portrait skills. Poirot Portrait has a nice symmetry to it. I probably will.
Shatner's face is off and Snake Pliskin was a struggle to get where it was but really should be re-done. Laziness is not a good trait to have.




The only other things are I am still thinking larger is better but no specific plans. I do have some larger cardboard sections and some medium sized canvas (16x20) not so big but affordable. I got some rubber glove with the idea of using my fingers in the oils. I still avoid using paint in someways.
Also
When looking at other peoples work it becomes clear that i am messy with mixing colors and loose the vitality of some colors. Using unclean thinner and reusing brushes with non compatible colors.
