This is my second attempt of this portrait. The first one was a bit looser, but it was damaged when I had a ink spill.
I’m reasonably happy with this one, and I enjoyed doing it. The color of this on my monitor is close, but a bit cooler then the original. I used only three colors: ultra marine blue, cadmium red light, and new gamboge from M Graham.
11 by 15 inches (27×37 cm)
Arches cold pressed paper.

Comments and critiques are welcomeShe is truly very beautiful. And I’m impressed with your limited palette.
You’ve helped me with my palette for a fox I’m working on, too. Gamboge and cad red—that must be her hair color. I don’t have any cad red on my palette but I do have a few reds and one or two are close, so thanks for the help on my fox, too.
Very nice portrait!

Thank you Kate, Ellen, Frank, Jim, Ernst, and JanKate. I was not a happy camper when I spilled the ink. The painting was about 3/4 done when it happened.
Ellen The hair color is gamboge and cad red with just a hint of UMB to make a red brown color. Without the blue the color is to orange. Another color that might work for your fox is transparent red oxide. (PR 101)
