BMA142 Digital painting, Corel Painter practice, 12 March

Further development of Frida Kahlo-doscope 2.  Multiple watercolour layers means that I can bring colour or details up without disturbing what I've previously done.  For instance, Frida's skin was done over about four layers: 1. brown pencil sketch 2. jittery pastel and cheek colour airbrush, 3. watercolour cheek and shadows and 4. watercolour pink skin undertones.  I've added her husband, the painter and muralist Diego Rivera, to the composition.  Do I like Diego as much as the monkey?  Not really... maybe when he's been coloured in, he'll look right.  He may also not come right until some assymetry is introduced to his hair.
