Back on track

For those who have been following this interesting polemic, I happened to be one of the the first replies in this thread. I stated that I had been frustrated with the "lobster people" I would paint. I would feel there was this level of "acidity" sometimes.

Well I have some examples to show from the change already. Here is the painting I started a week or so ago after reading this thread and deciding to give the cad-free Paxton palette a shot. I have been impressed with the ability to get more subtlety, and therefore luminescence in my skin tones. For finishing touches, I did some tint layers with mixing transparent reds, yellows, and blues.

Sorry for the quality of the snapshots.
