Again these digitals just don't do them justice.

I wanted to tackle a very strong dark (black) background, just to see what the learning experience would be.

Reading Oil Painting Secrets from a Master the rule about cool receeding and warm bringing to the front was also qualified by how to make a black lighter and darker which is what I put to use.

The background is black with blue and her veil and wrap is black with red, the black is lightened with yellow.

I was not sure of the "sparkles" in the veil, they are there, but I tried to down play them in the dark areas, but couldn't keep them the same value.
