Portrait of my dear husband

Dear Husband One

This was the first portrait I did of my Husband. When you look at this one and the post under it you can see how important fabric selection is for this process. Here the base or lightest value is far to light and the darkest is far to dark. Actually I think I only used three values in this portrait while four is the better number.
I also decided that the high light on his lip in this piece is far to large. I reduced it in the second one.
