I don't know Tim and really have no concern. Now is it Tim Tyler or is that pronounced Tiny Tim!

Mari,

Thanks for thinking about your Forum buddies and posting your photos. I have always loved Remington's work, and William Whitaker's portraits are stunning. I wonder if his flesh pallette is posted anywhere. I have been to his web site and didn't see it. His skin tones are luscious. Not that it would help me, I probably have to strugggle many more years with mixing.

Glad you enjoyed the trip.

Alicia,

I copied this from one of William's posts:

My flesh palette is usually:
Cremnitz white with some Permalba white mixed in
Ivory black
Gamblin's Asphaltum
Gamblin's Transparent Earth Red
Raw sienna
Raw umber
Yellow ochre
Cadmium orange
Cadmium red light
Ultramarine blue
Permanent Sap Green

I favor the highest quality pigs bristle filbert brushes. I mostly use #2, #6, #8. I like the filberts because I can do fine work with the edge of the brush.

Mike,

You are a dear. I like the Belize portrait very much. It has captured the essence of the beach and the wind and by the way, great hair.

On the photo references I like the first one. She is a beautiful girl, but she looks softer in the first one. The light may be a bit intense, but her expression is much better.

Thanks,
Alicia
