I'm almost done and so ready to polish off the rest of the chocolate! woo hoo!
The bulk of this painting has been mostly yellows, pinks, orange and burnt sienna colors so it was time to cool things down. I whipped up a batch of purple using Alizarin Crimson and scraped the last little bit of Ultramarine I could find from my palette, kinda reminded me of licking the plate after finishing chocolate cake. . . .uh, I mean watching the kids do that!
Next on the menu is to clean up edges, even out the skin tones in areas that dried a little blotchy, and give the hair that wispy effect. Then I'll be ready to show you the finished painting in all it's glory! I can't wait cause I have another one I'm working on that is feeling left out! I'll show you that one soon!

Hi Lucy, thank you for visiting my blog. . .have fun trying out the creepy yellow eyes! You know, I met a man who really did have yellow/ambar color eyes once, I couldn't stop staring at him!
I love work in progress. Your blog is wonderful and so helpful. I work with pastels but you gave me a lot of tips. Your work is absolutely beautiful. I'm looking forward to your next painting.
Hi Hilda, thank you for visiting! Glad you're finding my ramblings useful. You pastels are wonderful! I'll be stopping by your blog often!
Beautiful face, and beautiful painting--the light is amazing and the hair and the shadows of hair on the face are so delicate and wispily perfect.
Thank you Laura, can't wait for the final reveal! I love the freshness of your watercolors, really beautiful!
It's looking great, Pablo!
