This is a 3 hour painting of one of my favorite models. I painted this on a medium gray toned panel. I began by blocking in the shadows with burnt umber and then built up the lights. Much of the green tone was created by mixing raw umber with lemon yellow.This was a very odd palette that I used for this painting. I had burnt umber, raw umber, lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, terra rosa and white. I could have really used black or some nice transparent reds but it was a challenge to make due with what was there.
