Day 8

Well, I didn't learn much from today's demo, since it was about making black by combining a crosshatch with red, green, and blue ballpoint pens. But oh, this was a fun one to paint.

The light reflection on her face was absolutely stunning, and I got out my Naples yellow and gave her face the once-over, then worked from light to dark in shades of lemon, rose, sienna, and umber. I made MY black by combining ultramarine and burnt sienna. I didn't quite do the model justice, but I think this may be the closest I've gotten so far to catching both the light and the angle. I'm enjoying painting people!
