I feel Trina’s hair needs some more definition, so I use Burnt Sienna and a new color not listed in our original palette (Raw Sienna) to get a bit closer to her hair color. I keep building layer after layer and the painting is starting to come together nicely.
I feel like my painting is going really well, but I never let my guard down. Every artist has had a painting swerve for the ditch at the eleventh hour. Trina’s face seems a bit weak, so I add one more light wash of Cadmium Red.
From here, things are going to move slower and in smaller increments. It’s time to refine and make small color adjustments. I put in a light Raw Umber on Trina’s romal (or reins), and call it a day.
