Painted on a black ground, I stuck with blacks and grays with a slight tint of a brown/green in the face. It has a monoprint or lithograph-like feel to it. Simple. And I like that.
Congratulations on a great series. I am si=o inspired and trying to get info to sign up for your NYC workshop! I'm stumped, are you painting from photos or live models? Wonderful subject matter!
