Painting perfection throughout.
I love the way you've taken relatively muted clothing colours and brought them to life.

Cheers,

Hi Elena

Beautiful work love the colours you have chosen

Love the hair effects , the highlights are great

The fleshwork is one of the best I have seen .........dare I ask your mixes ?

Thanks for sharing

Nap

What about a FOTM entry if you wish to put a figure in ?

Hi Nap !
Thank you ! I am very glad that my work was pleasant. This is my first experience of painting a bust. Also for the first time I tried to draw a contrast of shadow and light on the face and the figure as a whole. It was an experiment for me.
Mixing colors I rather listen to intuition. On the lighted side of the skin it is: white, flesh color, shades of red, brown and quite a bit green. Many thin layers. In shadow side, too, but still a bit violet and ruled out white. For reflex in the shadows mixed basic color of flash color and green. In some areas added red and so on. Maybe something else.
