Today, I'm switching gears to the soft, impressionistic brushwork of sweet baby flesh! I am using the limited palette yellow oxide, red oxide, cad red light, cad red medium, indanthrene blue, ivory black and titanium white - all Liquitez heavy body. I start by laying in the background, allowing the baby to emerge. In this case, I had all masses in before I even started the flesh tones. Not my normal method, but I always let the process happen organically. After a little push and pull, I am going to let this one rest. I'll take a look tomorrow with fresh eyes, and decide if I need a little tweaking! Painting number 1453 in 1453 days and day 3 in the current 30 day painting challenge! :)
