858 - John The Baptist, Part III


 
 
I am posting this week's progress on John The Baptist.  It's good news and bad news.  The good news is that I have found a good home for this icon.  The bad news is that it's getting away from me a bit.  I had to work in poor lighting, so now that I see John in true light, his skin tones are a bit too warm.  Not to mention that he's gone too far with the rouge!
 
The reddish patches are called "apples".  Since there are many layers of translucent paint going on here, I'll simply add more layers to blend the apples into the skin tone.
