Texture!

Here are some images of the awesome texture on the canvas. I am using 3 different mediums to do contrasting surfaces. Can you see it in the various "whites" values?
I like to work with a very smooth surface for the faces, and lots of texture for the background. In this case I have also leaves on the left side, so that's a different texture as well:


Now it has to dry for a few hours... I can't wait to start adding layers of color!

PS:
My son turned 18 yesterday. Where did the time go?
We had a good day and even the weather in the evening was lovely ♥
