I begin to block in the large plane changes, mapping
the edges where the light meets dark. I purposely set

color-and-turpentine combination. I then paint over
the charcoal lines to make them more permanent so
that they won’t smear when I start laying in thicker
paint and the large overriding value/color masses.

ALLOWS YOU TO HOLD YOUR POSE BETTER,
SEE YOURSELF MORE OBJECTIVELY AND
ACHIEVE A BETTER LIKENESS.”
