Adding another layer of "grime" puts the focal area farther back into the "stone" wall. Since I'm shooting for a trompe l'oeil effect, "Build. Destroy. Rebuild." is my theme.
The next phase will be putting new shadows and highlights into the face.

Nice ethereal effect - now all it needs is a nearly naked, buxom young woman on a unicorn.

Adding the eye in the lower left gives the work an omniscient feel...very stirring.

Holy crap, man...I could have sworn you were making a faint closeup of a face...eye, eyebrow, hairline above that, and the bridge of the nose running down to the center of the canvas. You say it's accidental...now it just seems creepy. :)
