Here is a picture of the original. Because you painted on a white surface the colours are less solid. it's more logical to build up an image like this on a coloured surface.
the colour of the canvas was something like you can still see in the background on the right, a warm-brown colour. When you compare her face to the other face
painted by Ingres which I showed before you will notice a difference in warmth of the colours of the face. The coloured ground has a great effect on the overall-tone
and the appearance of the colours of the painting.
Hope this helps,
Peter
