Thank you, Leslie.
I was so pleased with this morning's work that I couldn't wait to post it, hoping that you might see the fruits of my labour.
I doubt that I would have thought of changing the colour of the blouse altogether, but yes, didn't it work ever so well? I love the way the ultramarine is still showing through the burnt umber. I have you to thank for it.
Yes, I will darken the shadows on her hand more. And I may tone down her 'orange' cheeks a little more, as the paint was still too sticky to work with this morning.
This is for my portfolio. I am a little tired of painting self portraits and my family and I'm not yet experienced enough to keep the commissions coming in. Maybe one day.
Thank you again, Leslie.
