This Wednesday morning's work.

20 x 16 oil

[Steven Sweeney]

I will send people here for the "cure" from being so tentative about dark shadows on flesh, and for a vivid demo on how value design creates form. If they can look this good and serve such good ends on this model, they'll do as well on just about any others one could think of.

Are you using the palette these days of anyone in particular? Or have you just settled on "The Saper Secret" array?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[Chris Saper]

Dear Steven,

Thanks so much. I'm still using the Whitaker/Greene/Saper thing, as well as some new BTSP colors: Gamblin's Radiant Blue, Radiant Pink and Radiant Violet. (because they are so pretty) Oh, and that lucious Pyrrolo Red from http://www.studioproducts.com

[Alexandra Tyng]

Chris, I think this is the best one yet! The colors just sing! I love the skin tones against that outrageous pink. (Is that one of your new colors?) The hair is so well done, too.

Is this pyrrolo red the same as perylene red (Gamblin)? I am using perylene in rosy skin tones and it works so well.

[Sharon Knettell]

Oh yes indeedy, this is lovely color. Picking colors out of the air so quickly, is indeed difficult.

Great job Chris!

I've said this before, Chris, your work is so unmistakable! I always love looking at it.
