Study Piece

[Richard Bingham]

Limited palette study from the life. 20x16" oil on linen.
I'd like to incorporate this as a full-length figure into a landscape, which would be pretty much a reprise of Bouguereau's "La Tricoteuse"

Colors used: flake white, ivory black, terra rosa, lead-tin yellow.

Richard,
your palette seems to be effective and well balanced, and beside it being a very fine portrait, I like the interplay of warm and cold colors.

[Alexandra Tyng]

Very nice study, Richard! Are you planning to do the full composition in the sam limited palette, or will you use more colors?

[Richard Bingham]

Thank you for your kind remarks. I will have to expand the palette to get more of a range for landscape.

[Margaret Ferguson]

Lovely portrait, beautifully painted.
