Thank you Renee,
I agree on your criticisms. I have been learning how use oil , instead of pastels. I have had a problem using color. In an effort to solve my problem, I theorized that I would start with only three colors (vermillion, yellow ochre, black); when that was successfully accomplished, I would add a few more close colors to my palette, etc.. This is the third painting that I did in my succession. I realized half-way through that I should add cadmium orange, or mars orange to my palette. If I had added it sooner, the flesh would have been better. But I didn't want to go back into it for fear of messing up what was already there. The new color for this painting was mars violet. I'm also getting used to using black, a color that I never used with pastels. I am using black in place of blue and having good results. Black is my cool color.
I posted this prematurely because I was so excited that it was finally working. I will work on it some more. Here is the photo that I am working from. I used my homemade flourescent light bank for this photo.
