I Started to paint Elmo, this is the first layer of him, I thought I would show his progression also. He adds more color and balance to the portrait, and some colors will get reflection into the white coat. So I will be working on Elmo's feathering, a touch of color in her coat and I can add the bird shadow and the embroidered "Welch" on the coat, adjust and shade her hand, highlights on her hair, her face and a few corrections and soften coming in the next 2 layers.
