| I used the study I had done earlier to play with the background. I thought this too dark. |
 |
| I sponged off some of the pigment, and came out with this. |
 |
| I also did a work-sheet, to see exactly how the colors would play out. |

| This is the portrait itself. I think it may be more intense in reality than this, but it gives you an idea of the background. I used grayed hues of lavender, cooler at the top and right, and warmer below, hopefully to give it a sense of depth. Next I will go in to finish the horse image. That's painting for this morning. Off to clean up the Big Guy's paddock, and go for a ride. As always, your comments are most welcome. |
You had a good morning and it sounds like you'll have a great afternoon. I laundered the morning away and figured out how to get my iTunes onto my i Pad and get them to play continuously. I seem to be into devices. It started yesterday. They do intrigue me. Next Zac's eye.
