Hi Julie! Thank you! I've found that when I paint people who are not fair skinned caucasians I can see much more of the subtle skin colors. I know they are present in all of us but I don't see it as well in caucasians. There is a richness to Indian women's skin. It's often so smooth but has so many temperature changes. I just love painting them. Thank you for your supportive comments. I really appreciate it.
Michelle, too funny. No hiding necessary. Don't you dare! I have said many times I have the disease of impatience. That's my problem. It is a problem, not a skill. I have this frenzied pace when I work and almost as soon as I start I am bored to tears. Mind you, with this one I had to let the layers dry in between so I meant that ALL TOGETHER I have about 8 hours in it...but not in one sitting. If I could slow down and pace myself I might catch many more mistakes and produce a better product. I'll put that on my list of New Year's resolutions but maybe not next year.
