Since I only worked the face in any detail, I was able to get this done pretty
easily in 3 hours. Skin tones were mixed from phthalo and ultramarine blue,
burnt sienna, yellow ochre, and alizarin crimson. Phthalo blue makes a nice
cool compliment to alizarin, and I used it to play around with green hues in the
shadows. Also, I stopped fooling around with painting medium blends which
usually end up making the canvas soupy. Instead, I just used linseed oil which
seems to contribute to a more brushy look. 20" x 16"
