Thank you Ngaire,
yes my palette is mostly earth colors ( yellow ochre, terra rosa, indian red, raw umber + black and white) and also cad red and ultramarine .I added cad yellow to those colors for the frame.
I found that it was an easier way ( for me) to begin to control skin tones with earth colors, now I quietly experiment with other colors.
It's my goal for this year, to enter in competitions, and hopefully have some results...
But this kind of pieces is generally a bit problematic: lot of people ( even professionals) don't understand what it is exactly when they just see a photo without explanations. Always better to see the real object...
