Irene Hana Oil Portraits

Started 6-10-12, Ended 6-18-12, #989

Irene is a neighbor of mine. I started by oiling down the panel and painting with burnt sienna. The first setting took one hour, I'm a bit rusty.. I was planning on two hours but she had an appointment.

First hour

At this point I had added a dark with the 3 transparent primaries, it's too neutral dark but black and neutral gray are her hair colors and the forms are taking shape.

Day 2, No photo, I added color to it inside the same patterns while she wasn't here including the purple dress. 6-11-12, I changed to colors to a cad red an ult blue opposition.
I hated to quit for the night before I got the eye and pupil finished. Tomorrow she is going to bring the purple dress.

Day 3, She brought the dress so I got more of the neck finished, fixed the right eye, worked all over the face. I'm getting a cold and had to quit.

2nd day

Day 3, 7-19-12. 4:10to4:52=42. 5:05to5:30=25. 5:35to5:45=10 =77min= 1:17= total day. I finished most of the face, The cheek is too red but I want to work backwards on it. The neck, shoulders and dress should be one 2 hour session. Total=9hr30min

Most of the face is done, I have to change the area under the nose, it shows up now like it's dirty. Last time I forgot to put my palette in the freezer so I was painting with old paint. I have to make up a new palette today, clean 5 brushes and smooth out my background. Because I am painting with just turpentine a lot of the areas won't blend well, I'll need new paint.

Day 5, 7-28-12. I cleaned up the edges, added more around he eyes, still have the earring, hair and the finish touch up to do. Another sitting should do it.

Day 6, 8-11-12, Irene forgot to wear the right abalone earrings so I'll work on her eye and hair. 3:07 to 3:27. Working on the hair. 3:41 to 3:51, 4:45 to 5:15
