Girl with Pearl Earring -- after Vermeer

[John Crowther]

Thanks a lot, Terri. All quite useful information, I think. It was interesting to me that you used a limited palette, because I always do - usually only 5 or 6 pigments, depending on what I'm going for. Your initial stage after the gridding is virtually a grisaille, it seems to me, basically just monotone that establishes grey scale values. For me it's the most important stage along with boxing in and establishing "landmarks." Again, thanks.
