Progress and the Process: Adding Color

The Wheel of life has come a long way since my original post when it was still a drawing on canvas. I finished the underpainting and adding fine detail (this was also a projected drawing- direct transfer is impossible with such large canvases, a drawing that large would certainly move around during transfer). I have also started to add the color to this piece. I am partially through the second layer of paint. During this stage the tone of the painting is set. Unless extensive glazing is planned, not a lot changes too much after this stage, only the addition of fine detail.
