Progression shots of my James Bama Doc Savage Man of Bronze homage

Still a looooong way to go to accomplish my goal of hyper(ish) detail.  After doing the George Rozen knockoff I wanted to try something that positively scared the heck outta me, copying such a detailed and highly recognizable image.  Sure, it ain't The Mona Lisa but what I can learn from this exercise is exciting.  So plug away I will, making adjustments and wondrous discoveries along the way.

Work in Progress

The photo is from my tablet so it ain't as clean as I like but I thought I'd risk embarrassment and throw this onto the blog. Should've shot it in its frame...

The other attempt at egg tempera

There are things I like about this piece but overall I prefer yesterdays painting.  I hope to someday get back to trying this technique again.

Color Saturday

Several years ago I experimented with egg tempera.  I am a great fan of Andrew Wyeth's artwork and felt a need to try and work with his preferred medium.  Tedious but fascinating technique.  I only did two pieces, the second one I will post tomorrow.  This was my first.
