Thanks Sharon!
The more I work from life, the less I mesure. We always begin open studio with some 5 minute poses, so I have to draw fast without mesuring, and if we make a long pose after, I still draw quickly. I think it's becomming more instinctive.

Hi Bonfim,
I always use the same limited palette : Flake white, yellow ochre, terra rosa, indian red, raw umber, ultramarine, carmine, and very few black. The background is raw umber with ultramarine ( eyebrows too), and the flesh tones are a mix of yellow ochre, terra rosa, and raw umber + white, (and + carmine for the nose and cheekbone). More raw umber on the shadow side.
Thanks for the comment.
