today i focused mostly on the beard and tie. I mostly just did basic colors to make sure the shading looked right where it's supposed to. I'm going to bring in the more detailed little lines later on. after i finish his beard and tie the jacket and background will be fairly simple. Where Renoir's portrait shows light, there are long streaks of light reds and browns, so putting dimension there will be easy. i hope by tomorrow the details of the beard and tie will be more prominent.
