My wifes portrait continued
I have been using that new pallete for a little while now getting used to how it handles. I have found that it makes my life much easier. the only thing that I believe I am still off on is the clean up of it. as I am using a wood pallete now and I am still throwing out too much paint. The Tera Rosa that I am using seems like it is seperating from the oil it has in its tube. I will have to order some better paint as I am using Grumbacher's paint and it seems to week.
I have been working with the neutral gray trying to bring the chroma under some control in the painting. I feel that the painting is going in a good direction but now realise that my initial drawing was a bit off and that I will need to tighten my way of viewing my reference a bit. I will post an image of my easel alterations as I go.
