Another Haitian Painting

I wish I would have captured more of the pre-work, but I got carried away and forgot to grab the camera, so here's the first picture.

The layers are: gesso on pre-primed canvas; burnt umber mixed with soft gel (semi-gloss) applied with 16 flat brush painted over the entire canvas; quinacridone crimson mixed with soft gel (semi-gloss) applied with 16 flat brush painted over the lower half of the canvas; quinacridone red with no media painted over the lower half of the canvas; paynes gray mixed with soft gel (semi-gloss) applied with 16 flat brush painted over the entire canvas; outline of figures in paynes gray (no media) applied with small brush; naples yellow hue mixed with soft gel (semi-gloss) applied with 16 flat brush painted over the entire canvas; terre verte hue mixed with soft gel (semi-gloss) applied with 16 flat brush painted over most of the canvas (excepting the very bottom, I think...); and outline of figures in burnt umber (no media) applied with small brush. Then I stopped and took this photo.

More coming in a minute...
