| The Final Finished painting |
 |
| Picture 1 |
The last class was about adding more details, and building subtle skin tones, outlines of the face, shadows, and adding some gold ash over the veil and it works like magic. It is a very delicate use of the squirrel brush to create the shade and shadows and I had some help from our teacher Sam. We started the class drawing circles before applying the brush to the surface and it is slow and meditative work. The finished painting took quite some time. In fact I have cheated a bit and went back to the class a few years later to finish it off with Sam's guidance. What you see as a finished piece of work is something that took me a few more evenings to finish.
Overall I really enjoyed the class and had much more to learn. I will definitely be taking the class again and I thoroughly recommend it. ( and I have since)
