So, Nick has been sitting over int he corner for months watching me whenever I come into the garage/studio. I finally have started to upgrade the background from the first strokes I put on the panel those many months ago. The first thing to do is to add a warm glaze over the sky, then rag off most of it, bringing some life to the clouds.
Next I painted some more natural colored grass into the foreground. Once that dries, I will do some more work on it to add some texture. I am not really happy with his eyes, but that is pretty much how he looked because of the location of the sun. Sometime soon, I will take a new reference photo that has his eyes more open and not squinting like my son from south-east asia.
