I treated myself to the purchase of theater gel over the holidays and this is my first attempt at working with it.  Theater gel is a sheet of colored transparent material that you place between the light source and the subject.  It casts very dramatic colors and causes the shadows to become equally rich and exciting.  I enjoy it because it gives me a chance to experiment with unusually saturated colors rather than extremes of value. 


This is from a two hour painting session with a wiggly model.  I hope to finish it soon.
