This is a called making a mapor giving an out line during the sketching process, the total program is defined. Next, the successive application of colors begins. Each color is applied one at a time directly from its bowl to all the places where it occurs throughout the painting. Coloring starts with filling in faces. When applying this saffron color, the artist carefully leaves a place for eyes and maintains proper body proportions. Yellow, green, brown, and red are applied one after the other. By applying the lighter colors first, and using. increasingly darker colors with each application, the artist progressively read just the boundaries between other colors and the background. In this way, the form of the figures is perfected. Shipping & handling:  To be delivered worldwide via US Mail. We accept PayPal, and major credit cards.
