Thank you, Linda. I didn't use any medium in the figure. I did thin the paint to tone the canvas, but other than that, it's just pure paint. The vermilion and yellow ochre I used was Holbein. The white was flake and the black was Grumbacher Pre-Tested Ivory. Yes, he was lit from above.
I'm not sure I understand the difference between cad red light and vermilion enough to understand why I should pay the extra money. I'd love some insight on that. Why do you choose it over cadmium red light? I mean, I really like what happened here with the color, but could I have done the same thing with cad red light? I don't know. I bought the vermilion out of curiousity and had to use it here out of necessity. I'm wondering if I should keep buying it, or not.
