Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.Henry Ward Beecher
Today I worked on giving the jacket sleeves more dimension. Surprisingly, the photograph I'm working from makes the entire figure look flat ~ perhaps the steward was standing in direct sunlight. Anyway, I'm taking an artistic license and adding some deeper shadows to give the painting more depth. I also changed the hue of the red cuffs ~ was a little too purple for my taste. I like the idea of painting figures from the back and am on the lookout for some other occupations that would be good subjects.
