Thanks Linda - yes the skin is different in color than I usually do. I used a lot more cools and grays. I think it is because it was black and white. I did have a color reference...and it was fairly cool.

I like the Maroger's. I used it on this linen panel and it's glossier than I expected. I am also using it on cotton canvas and its a nice even sheen. I am also using it on a gessopanel - and so far I can't tell as I just started and even though I tried sealing it the first layer still sunk in a bit, so it has no sheen at all so far. It makes the paint wonderful to handle though - that's my favorite part so far.
