Here is the under painting I mentioned before. Titanium white and brown oxide oil paints.
This painting was one of those duh moments where I learned something huge. I went to my teacher for criticism and I was saying there's something wrong about this-maybe the eyes?- I just don't know. My teacher took a look at what I had (it was at an earlier point than this) and he said "Oh well she has no eye-lids." and he just did a stroke of white paint for each eyelid. "Now she is a supermodel." And he was right.
