And now a Tarbell:
What I like about these painters is that they are convincing. Whether they've painted these outside or not, or from a photo or not, I feel as if they have been outside and know how it feels to be outside. (Plus, it is hugely fun as a painter to get out there and paint.)
Oh, my own colors: well, Diox. Purple (try mixing it with Naples Yellow) and Cinnabar Green are two colors that show up in my outdoor flesh tones but not in my indoor ones. (I am far too humble a painter to post my own work in a post which contains a Tarbell.)
I think your own work is wonderful and getting fresher all the time. I'm revved up about seeing another SOG painter who seems to like the outdoor portraits as much as you seem to.
