Margaret, thanks for the reference photo. I am doing these small, about 4 x 5.
I'll be doing another "victim" probably tomorrow although the next few days are very busy for me.
I have my first solo art reception tonight and then I am participating in a local plein air paintout from Friday until Sunday. I don't know if I will participate all 3 days but I will be definitely doing either painting or sketching either with them or the Urban Sketchers in NYC.
So lovely painting of Margaret.Joan, have a nice time with your painting groups!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun one of me too! Thanks for making me your "victim" Joan! Congratulations on your art show and come back soon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sirkka and Margaret!!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to take a quick look at some photos of my show, they are on my blog. watercolorsbyjoan2.blogspot.com.
Lovely portrait Joan! May I ask what you like to mix for skin tone? I don't have a standard formula and seem to make it up every time, with varying results... and thanks for showing your blog link -- I went over straight away, and gazed upon and admired your art show!
ReplyDeleteI mostly use a combination of yellow ochre or burnt sienna mixed with alizarin crimson in varying amounts. I use ultramarine for the shadows.
