With this first color pass, I decided to part from my usual color scheme for the underpainting, in an attempt to cast the dye as early as possible to achieve a new look in the end....
At this stage, I feel this piece is remotely reminiscent of a Toulouse Lautrec... but not for long! I still want to do some deconstruction. A saving grace, I have a picture of this step as consolation prize if I fail at the last yard....
Note: I used to like the monochromatic look reminiscent of Chinese black ink painting. My exposure to urban contemporary art recently has triggered something in me, and I want more color variations and abstract patterns in my future figurative work...
Note to self: "These days I seem to merely absorb what has been done before... an important step in the path for innovation.... I guess!"
