So got a first pass completed on the old gal. The plan to complete these by doing successive layers was somewhat abandoned. I didn't have any zinc white to hand only titanium white which is too opaque for glazing. I also figured out I was not going to make it to the anything like the finish of the original progressing with glazes without the white so I compromised. Regardless the grey layer really helped and after the colours were mixed the painting too no time at all.
I got a second pass on bearded guy and here the glazing did help pick up the hue.
I think it would take quite alot of playing around and adjusting to get a good process down. I have a few more panels prepped so I can continue .
The last image is a copy of ALFRED VON WIERUSZ-KOWALSKI the messenger. Did this study because I liked the massing of dark and light.
