Self Portrait First Steps

This is after about two hours of work, drawing and painting with burnt sienna oil paint. I used liquin and gamsol as solvents and mediums. This is the grisay painting. I am planning on cover over it with opaque color in oil. I do these first steps, though, to get the image on the canvas, cover the white, and determine the values so that color can be the main concern at hand. I am painting on a 24X36 canvas. The purpose of this piece is to show my two passions, sculpture and painting. I portray this by having clay in my hair and paint all over my body.
