The color choices are also very rich. I love to hear what colors you used for the dress.

Thanks for pointing that out Enzie. I agree that it is much more interesting and enjoyable painting a figure that has some movement in it, and it can be a challenge getting a natural pose with these attributes. I believe that for the dress I used some combination of yellow ochre, cadmium yellow medium and trans oxide brown. Thanks for asking.
