Creation of the Chrome portrait #4 proceeds. Most of the big areas are set up with wet on wet splashes of color now. It is time to remove the mastic (resist) that has reserved the white areas. You can see that much of the area being reserved has appeared quite dark.
As I remove the mastic, it is surprising how different it looks with those white areas exposed. This is when it feels as though I must buckle down and very carefully ad details without ruining the great highlights areas just exposed. These light areas of paper are little treasures that need to be protected. My hands move with a lot more precision from here on.
