After
the first wash dried I painted a large backward 'S' with water to encourage a flow through the painting when viewed.
Color was added the same way as the first wash. Most of the masking fluid was removed after this wash dried; more watered-down
masking was spattered as well.
Detailing
on the figures begins. I wanted to keep the two figures in the background from pulling focus from the central figure so they
are painted in non-realistic color and not quite so much detail.
Sculpturing
begins on the figures with value and color. Note that the backward 'S' comes in front of the seated figure on the
left; this will help take it into the background.
Facial
and hair details are added to the two figures on the left. Skintones and clothing are added the figure on the right; the 'S'
also comes across this figure.
Another
important feature of the painting is, of course, the fountain streams. Caution was used to not overpaint the details of the
water; utilizing tight and loose detailing.
