My Process: Part Four

I managed to warm up Jacob's face a little more today
with a light wash of Alizarin Crimson. Then I laid
similar washes for Molly's face. This area takes up
almost half of the composition. So I worked with a
bigger brush and worked wet-into-wet a section at a
time. To avoid the demarkation lines left by
watercolor as it dries next to a dry area, I wet more
than what I was going to paint. Again, I kept the
blue tints near her eyes and temples and added red to
the cheeks, chin and nose. Once everything totally
dries, I will begin adding the darks and the details
of the face. (I'm resisting the use of a hair
drier!!)
