Painting in the Style of the Venetian Masters

I am on class three in an extension class at UCLA called "Painting in the Style of the Venetian Masters" taught by Tom Garner.

Here are some exercises we did last week.

This is a self portrait we started in class today, I will try to get a better photo tomorrow so you can see how it has progressed. There is a yellow ochre scubbled underpainting and then burnt umber layer and then white highlights. I wonder how it is going to turn out.
