Painting hair.
Next I create a background echoing all the colors in the face and the darks in the hair. Now you can see the
problem. As soon as the background was applied (Fig 4) the hair, although nicely rendered, becomes a foreign
object ... and excessively light.It is not major problem however.
Let us separate the hair and apply a screen tint of a warm dark. Say value 2 at 50% for the more mechanically
minded. With paint I would simply use a alizarin - raw umber glaze. Note how the texture is not lost. Saves
work later. Next is the favourite part - soften the edges and lose some of the texture.http://www.geocities.com/~jlhagan/lessons/practicalapplication3.htm (3 of 4)1/13/2004 3:54:17 AM
