Joan,

So as not confuse you further, I want to clarify something. After spending some time studying grisaille with Karin Wells in New Hampshire, one thing became clear. Painting in grisaille is exactly the opposite as painting alla prima. They are so far opposite that they become both sides of the same coin. (I remember telling Karin this on a park bench after the workshop ended...). The advise I gave you about establishing your value immediately was if you are painting alla prima. That advise was for your daughter Megan's portrait. In the grisaille painting of Lady Agnew, Karin is the master and I humbly bow to her expertise.

Peggy
