Stuart
Hi,
I'm not sure the drawing was very exact, I didn't take the time to mesure: I just tried to paint as fast as I could. This session was only 2H10 mn...

Marina,
All I can say is you one great eye for painting. I have to measure until my eyes are crossed.
What a great piece!

Great! I liked it very much.
Tell me, how did you obtain those dark colors?

Thanks Sharon!
The more I work from life, the less I mesure. We always begin open studio with some 5 minute poses, so I have to draw fast without mesuring, and if we make a long pose after, I still draw quickly. I think it's becomming more instinctive.
Hi Bonfim,
I always use the same limited palette : Flake white, yellow ochre, terra rosa, indian red, raw umber, ultramarine, carmine, and very few black. The background is raw umber with ultramarine ( eyebrows too), and the flesh tones are a mix of yellow ochre, terra rosa, and raw umber + white, (and + carmine for the nose and cheekbone). More raw umber on the shadow side.
Thanks for the comment.

Marina,
Such fresh work! And of course one can't get an exact drawing in Open Studio - but that's not the goal. I can tell you are having fun

Thanks Marina,
I asked about your colors because I notice something familiar, I also avoid using black.

Marina, I really like those bold strokes and that fine head structure! Before I scrolled down I saw only the top of the forehead and I could tell it was tilting back and the chin was up. Very nice work!

Sargent used black. So do a lot of painters. It's use was questioned by the Impressionists, some of whom used it and some who didn't.
I find it invaluable.
