Julie, thanks for posting these images and the description of Dawn's workshop. She is a terrific artist and I am a big fan of her fresh, painterly alla prima working method. And I really like how your painting turned out as well!

Thanks, Linda -
I really like her things too.
Her website is www.dawnwhitelaw.com, for anyone interested in checking out her work.
Marcus, I would hate to have to limit myself to one blue. I like cerulean for its beautiful blues but also for the greens I can mix from it. But if I want a more reddish blue, I would go for ultramarine. I am also liking Prussion Blue, because it's dark like ultramarine, but with a greenish tinge, so it mixes into a green very nicely when yellow is added.
Alkyd is like an oil paint, I think, but it dries faster. I'm not an expert, so I'm sure you can get a better description from someone who knows more about it.

Hi Julie,
I'm a little late with this response, because I was so busy with holiday deadlines that I hadn't had a chance to visit this site for the past month.
Anyhow, thanks so much for reporting back to us about the workshop. I think the painting you completed looks great! I am also intriqued with the primary palette that she uses. I've used a primary palette for landscapes and still lifes with wonderful results but it never crossed my mind to use it for a portrait. I think I will try experimenting with it on a portrait sometime.
Thanks again,
Mary

Thanks, Mary! It is nice to know that those primary colors are manageable.
Please share that future portrait with us!

I am resurrecting this thread to mention that Dawn was on a live chat on American Artist recently. If you're a fan of her work (as I am) you might want to read the transcript here.
