Experimenting with Glazing

Part of my plan for this semester is to experiment with different ways to continue to use black. I have decided to first try glazing color over an entirely back and white painting. For my first attempt with this I have chosen to use a black and white painting from last semester. I enjoyed the glazing process and am pleased with the results.

Changes to Last Semester's Work

I have started off this semester by making some minor adjustments to some of my paintings from last semester. I decided to make these changes based on feedback received at the residency. 

For this painting I simply added more white around her eyes in order to help them stand out. Previously her eyes were lost when this painting was viewed fro a distance. 

It was suggested for this painting that since I had black outlining in many areas, it would make sense to also have the outlining on the edges of the walls in order to separate them from the rest of the space. This can be seen best in the close-up image on the left.
