Thank you for your encouraging words, Chris. I can sure use them.
So far in this painting I have used a limited palette - I am planning on keeping it that way. The skin has been mostly rendered with Transparent Oxide Red and Cobalt Blue Light. I have had to resort to unusually large amounts of cadmiums (red and orange), to enliven the hot dark passages. I don't know how they dry and frankly I am a little concerned with loss of brilliance as the oil gets absorbed by the canvas leaving things chalky.
My approach to edges can be described simply as Very careful. I am doing my best to stay alert when I hit those edges and to get the heck out of there as soon as possible instead of doing my typical lingering and weakening.
The temperature composition has been tricky. The light to the model's right is very cool and to the left it is very warm. I am trying to just look at it and do what makes sense from afar.
