Wow, thanks, Alexandra,
I worked hard on the composition, using what Juliette Aristides calls the "Armature of the Rectangle". Patty Joyce saw my original oil sketch and can testify that there was a noticeable improvement in composition using those design principles.
I used this color palette:
2 blues: cobalt and manganese
2 reds: alizarin crimson and cadmium
2 yellows: naples dark and yellow ochre
1 black: ivory black
Raw umber
Oh, and a touch of gold ochre in the hair. I am a believer in choosing a color palette according to what I think the painting needs.
I feel that I could have put more crispness and value contrast into the rocks, but I am pleased overall, so thank you.
