Layers by layers

the secret of realism painting is you have to paint it layer by layer, just like in photoshop, the painting was created with different layers, but the more layers you paint the better result you will get. that was my teacher said when I asked how many layers should I made for a painting. I was terrified at the moment, it took more than 2 hours for me to make a layer, then I asked again can a painting created with only a few layers, it should at least have 5 layers my teacher answered.

so now I will show how rama and shinta painting was created, this is the first layer, you can see it really ugly and rough

first layer

at this layer I had to focus on the proportion of the picture, because if I made mistakes it would be so hard to fix it in the future. now I will show the next layer

2nd layer

now at this layer I can work on the light and the dark of picture, but it will take a lot of layers to make the lighting looks real

next layer

the picture now looked more lively because the lighting was begun to developing, and now the final layer :

katz

Ooops, wrong pic, sorry, they are my lovely pets, my kids liked to play with them

finish

well, now we can see the result, although I can put more works in this painting but for this moment I’d like to take a break for a while, and then when I’ll get energy to  finish it I will do it.

the keys are patience, patience and patience
