rendering textile: the cloak.

Like for the rest of the painting, I follow 3 steps:

1) quick drawing with brush. A light 2 color glaze is what you see on the picture as of oct 4.

2) Using 2 different reds as well as white, I create volume by adding shadows and reflections. the drawing gets more precise, but the contrast is too high which is done on purpose. This will be smoothen at the very next step. For now this is what you see on the picture marked as of October 5.

3) Once the paint is dry, which is going to take at least 2 weeks, I will add a red/brown glaze that will create color uniformity while preserving volume effect. By the way the glaze will be absorbed by the texture, it will create similar impression as what you can see on an old painting.  But we will have to wait a little bit for that.
