This is a largish (28" x 22") acrylic on paper. Palette (for the figure) - Burnt umber, burnt sienna, yellow ocher, scarlet lake, cad red hue, cad yellow light hue, prussian blue, and a little permanent rose (plus Titanium White, of course).
For the improvised background, I've used, from top to bottom - Prussian and cerulean blue, some Teal I have in excess (and is looking for an opportunity to use), Yellow ocher, burnt umber and Titanium white.

Hi, Prosenjit - so glad I happened upon your bog. This figure painting is excellent with wonderful skin tones and those hands and feet are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow... Susan of the amazing airborne horses :D (if I may be allowed to say that) so wonderfully kind of you to drop by. Thank you!!
DeleteI think, a deeper awareness of anatomy makes us see forms which are not otherwise noticed, making for a more believable study. And it can be an uphill (although fun-filled) battle to educate oneself more on that subject.
