| Studio light, after wash. I think it's all right for a first attempt. Now I'd like to try this technique with a variety of subjects. As always, your comments are most welcome. And if you absolutely cannot live without it, it is for sale. :) |

| I couldn't figure out why the shadows were making Paulina look like a bearded lady. The mixture was too grainy. So I did a small w/w with the colors I was using - cobalt blue, quin. pink and raw sienna. I think the raw sienna was granulating a bit, especially combined with the blue. When I tried yellow ochre, it seemed better. So, wipe and do the shadows again. |
