This is an unfinished portrait study done in the classroom under artificial light. Most of it is underpainting except around the features (detail). We are going on to a new pose but I am hoping to continue this one outside of class.

Anna, this is a wonderfully sensitive study and I'm learning a lot by looking at the closeup. I hope you'll keep posting your extraordinary life work.
Can you tell us the colors on your palette and whether you're using lead white?

Beautiful work, Anna. very interresting to see the underpainting too.
I was amazed to see the dimensions: much smaller than I was expecting at the first look...

Thank you Linda, Alexandra, Marina and Grethe!
I use an extended palette... right now I have 64 tube colors squeezed out, plus white. I usually use only titanium white, although there is zinc and lead in some of the lighter tube colors I use.
Here are some colors I generally find useful in skintones:
shadows: alizarin crimson, cadmium red deep, cad red purple, viridian green, cerulean blue, dioxazine violet
dark light: kings blue, violet grey (old holland or holbein), ultramarine violet, cad red light, Holbein coral red (very useful), brilliant pink (old holland or holbein), Holbein rose grey, Old Holland deep ochre, Holbein yellow grey, raw sienna
light: Winsor Newton jaune brilliant, jaune brilliant rouge (can't remember brand), Gamblin radiant violet (very light tint of I think dioxazine), Vasari rosebud (I think this is a very light tint of their permanent bright red), naples yellows, Gamblin radiant magenta, cobalt violet light, cadmium lemon, titanium white

You must be in Tony Ryder's class. I recognized his method immediately. Great work!

Such a masterfully painted head. The modelling of the "landscape" of the head shows a complete mastery of your craft in all its aspects.
Beautiful.
