We Now we can start painting the first layers on her face!
Don’t have to worry about blending just yet, although if you want to soften some edges you can dab with a paper towel or soften the edge with a clean damp brush. We want to leave plenty of white for highlights. Add warmth in the areas that would normally be warmer tones like the eyelids, cheeks, lips and shoulders.. continuing on the same way with her hands and arms.
While that layer dries we start to paint the pine trees and moss covered ground. I drop in many different colors like earthy green, purple, a golden green, blue, and a reddish brown. You can sprinkle a little salt on top or tap your brush with clean water into the color to make some variation. Remember to leave white spaces for the highlights! I also add some golden yellow near her hands to make it look like a glowing light is emanating from her heart.
Now that the first layer is dry we can add another layer to her face. This time I’m adding some purple in the areas that would be more in the shadow like between her eyes and bridge of the nose, her top lip, under her nose and lip, eyebrows and hair-line.
I do the same with her hands and arms, adding shadow with purple in between her fingers, under her arms and just in the places more in the shadows.
