Hi Hannah - I did take artistic liberties with this one. She looks at least 10 years younger than in real life, but I don't think she'll mind : ).
Thanks Jimmie - But there's always something to be learned, and I can only hope to always be learning it! True to form, Marvin (who has an amazing eye), gave me a pointer. If I'd posted in the Unveilings, I probably wouldn't have learned that little bit of info.
Mike - I think part of the why this works is it is a very simple palette, with a complementary color harmony (red/pink and green/blue), with the red/pink dominant. Can you tell I have Chris Saper's book? I used alizarin crimson, terra rosa, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, burnt sienna (just a touch), burnt umber, and flake white.
Marvin - Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks all,
Holly
