Thank you for the complements on the color of the piece. I do love to bounce color around on a painting. Interesting that I was drawn to paint Kayla because of the close value range on those terrific cheeks and neck. I liked how the form could be modeled by change of temperature and very small change of value. I ran a final check of the painting by photograping it in black and white because I was working to keep those subtle value changes in line.
I am often surprised when I study paintings I like how close the value ranges are, Often only one or two hard edges explain the form.
Thank you again for all of your kind comments.
