You also said you were sure he used some more colours though, and it sounds like you were right

Personally I'm glad you posted that because it made me a have a much closer look at Anders Zorn's paintings. Pretty inspiring, I'd love to see one of those in the flesh.

Sharon, I noticed you use naples yellow and no cadmium yellow, is there a particular property to naples yellow that you like? I found this description on a web site today:
Quote:
coveted for its soft glowing light and mixing qualities, this classic pale Naples is close to but brighter than our Dutch Yellow while being as warm and opaque as the Cadmium Yellow Light, yet less harsh
I can't remember ever having tried it, but I thought I might do one painting with it instead of my usual cadmium yellow light just to see.
