854 - John The Baptist, Part II


Progress on my icon of John The Baptist:  I've painted out the form, which is the reddish interface between the shadows and the flesh tones in the underpainting.  The face looks like a mask, and a fairly lean, stern one at that.  As I add flesh tones, the face will fill out and look brighter. And then there is the hair.  John baptized few barbers.
