The work in progress of this Digital Oil Painting I am currently working on started on January 23rd (see the Calendar at the top right of this page). You can see the start of this work in progress by navigating to January 23rd from the calendar that appears on the top right of this page, or by selecting Go Earlier or Previous Day from the links at the bottom of this page to navigate to subsequent dates.

I am also recording the whole process as I paint it in Painter IX, showing at the same time my Painter’s selections and options as I go. This video will be available soon after I finish the portrait completely. Stay tuned for further information and availability.

Ok I’ve been so busy lately that haven’t been able to update my journal as frequently as I desired, but here is another update.

Step 52:
I continued here adding pink tones to the forehead to balance all other colors on his face.

Step 53:
In this close up, you can better appreciate the brushstrokes on his forehead as well as on the hair. Notice the many different colors and tones.

Step 54:
I have painted some shadow on the back of his hair and reshaped his eyebrows too. Some green tones were added to the hair.

Step 55:
I added now some bluish grey tones on his hair.

Step 56:
In this step, I was working on his beard adding different tones.

Step 57:
You can see here that white hair is never really white.

Tomorrow, I will be posting more work-in-progress images of Solitude II.

Dear Janet,

First I apologize because of my bad English - I live in Germany, I am however a Bosnier, from Sarajevo.

My Name is Dragan Iljkic.

I came on Your Web side, and I am inspired of your works; I am really fascinated by Portraits, and the way on you of it think and feel.

I am a beginner in Corel Painter, and several details are missing to me - which Brushes, and which size, one uses for details of eyes, mouth, skin, sheds… which Blender uses one for which, and which size?

I think first on Portrait of Kassidy, Portrait of Kyja, Portrait of The Man, Portrait of Nina - TUTORIALS
In ahead very gratefully!

Faithfully Your,

Dragan Iljkic
