b]Step 3-5. Place marks of strong, saturated color in the face.[/b]
A method taught me by Bill Whitaker, the placement of strong, unblended saturated color in spots really helps set a vibrant layer of color, which readily allows you to desaturate chroma in later layers. In these images, you can see the strong unblended patchwork. Looks like a dermatologist's dream case!
The palette is an adaptation of the Whitaker/ Greene palettes:
Flake white
Titanium white
Permanent Rose
Cadmium Scarlet+Raw Sienna
Yellow Ochre
Transparent Earth Red
Caput Mortuum ( thanks Peggy Baumgaertner)
Asphaltum
Raw Umber
Ivory Black+Raw Sienna
Cadmium Yellow+Ivory Black (a mixed green)
Alizarin Permanent+Thalo Green (a mixed black)
Ultramarine Blue
