The first layer is done with Lead White, Raw Umber and Terra Rosa only. I use the "fat over Lean" rule. Now I can lay in a background that complements the portrait. There will be many more layers with thicker paint and more colors to add depth and realism. This layer will show through as I use more transparent color. The bench will be glazed to look like wood. Check out the slideshow of this painting on bottom left.
