Well it has been two weeks since I started this painting and here we are. This is my first layer of glaze on top of the heavily painted intial layer. The glaze is a greyed down mixture of burnt umber and cadmium yellow. This is a very thin wash which I applied with my fingers and sponge brushes, while carefully wiping away certain areas. The surface is extraordinary rich and forms are beginning to reveal themselves. At this point, I'm very pleased with the progess. I will need to wait a week before this layer has sufficiently dried; then I will apply another glaze of a slightly darker tone to adjust some values and give the darks more depth.
