Linda, thanks! Is "what's on your palette" a metaphorical question? If so, then I'll e-mail you. If not, well for this one it was essentially the same palette as in this demo , but I put a heavier emphasis on the ochre overall.

Patricia, I appreciate the kind words. I absolutely LOVE painting hair. It comes so easily to me now, and that was the real fun part for the students to watch. I resolved it in about 10-15 minutes. You know what helped me to be so prolific with hair? This may sound weird at first, but it's because of all the clouds and water in my recent landscapes. There's the darndest parallel between the physical rendering of these 3 things. I won't get too detailed about it, but the most dynamic similarity comes from the "chaos theory" of these natural forms. In other words, they can look different every time you see them, but they all adhere to specific rules and patterns that don't vary at all. You just have to figure out the pattern, and you're off!
