Portrait Study in Black and White
On a weekend full of portrait study, it is so fun to try different colors and techniques! Here I laid down the planes with ivory black and titanium white, adding the tiniest bit of ultramarine blue. I arrived with my plein air set up, but am now wishing I had a few more soft brushes. I use a lot of heavy duty workhorse brushes (Princeton Catalysts) in the field for my daily work, and only had a couple of Rosemary brushes in this box. A softer, lighter brush is better for blending where desired. I find that I like leaving plenty of brushwork and strong strokes untouched. This portrait journey is going to be SO FUN! Painting number 2876 in 2876 days.
