LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS




With more planning, could I paint a good portrait?  Let’s see.


Planned it out with drawings and put in all the highlights, etc.  

The first color washes are the easiest.  



I’m using (mostly) the three colors Mary Whyte (and other portrait artists) use = Quinacridone Rose
French Ultramarine Blue
Raw Sienna

A touch of other colors in the eyes and hair and necklace.
