Continuing with this Painting

.
When I continued with this WIP, I did some detailed touch up with yellow, and then added the white (Titanium White) colour to make the hottest part of the fire white instead of yellow.

Then I had to decide whether I should keep this as a painting with only these three plus white colours, or should I add a bit of other colours to some small areas.

I then decided on the latter. The main reason is that this man's face and hands cannot be painted by the three plus white colours alone.

This below is the next WIP picture with nearly all the colors in place to show the man.

I think after this should be the detailing.



While I am taking pictures inside my house, I took a shot of my painting studio, see below. Behind my floor easel the shelves are where I put many of my previous sculpture items. On the floor are two of my 3 x 3 canvas paintings making up the large 6 x 6 ft painting assembly 'Upside Dowm World'.
