With this phase in the oil painting I felt like I was zeroing in on the final piece.

I glazed red again pretty aggressively because the coolness of the previous stage really bothered me. I thought I wanted the shadows to be cool but I just didn't like it.




When I rubbed it out I felt like I was getting closer to what I was looking for.



Then I began the final Titanium white highlights stage.
