The Joker - WIP

I started with thin acrylic wash on gessoed canvas.
After I was happy with the overall picture, I added the oil colour layer on top, leaving some ground area to show through. I did the oil painting layer mostly wet in wet (alla-prima)
Towards the end, the background was a little too dark so i had to lighten it up a little. This helped to make the right arm - which was already in the shadow -stand out more. I tried to keep the edge of the shadows soft to add the atmospheric effect.
