Thanks for the vote of confidence Kim... but no awards on this one! The jurying's done... nothing that was at all realistic won any of the awards.
That's all I'll say about it.
Pat thanks! The background is a deep burgundy (dark but not black and some areas are darker than others) ... think dark burgundy leather like a couch (which is what was behind them). If you look along the edges where the shirt meets the background you can get a read on the color. I don't remember exactly how I mixed it... but it's likely that it included Gamblin's 'Brown-Pink', Ultramarine blue, Venetian Red, possibly some permanent rose and maybe a touch of gold Ochre... but I'm guessing at these last couple... pretty sure there was no white
!
Tim, so glad you like it--Thanks!
