Oh Vianna, I am so sorry I missed this! I know it isn't news to your ears but I have to agree with everyone else that the skin tones are nearly innovative. I love them. What a gorgeous painting that I would love to see hanging in my house.

Wow, I've never been called innovative before! Thanks, Lisa and Mark, you made my day.

Vianna,

I just responded to one of your other posts on looking for resources and then came here to this one. Wow....looks to me like you don't have that fussing, fiddling problem at al!! What a great painting. Looks so spontaneous. Such great skin tones!

I would like to jump on the bandwagon and restate what a lovely painting this is. And yes, the colours are "luscious". Janet

Vianna, I really like this painting. This is a painting by a colorist! You really have worked on colour temperatures rather then tone, and this makes the painting radiate, almost producing light!

Wow. This tonalist is envious of how you did those lucious colors. Beautiful work!

Hi Vianna,
That's a lovely piece, great colors, skin tones and lighting.

Thank you for the complements on the color of the piece. I do love to bounce color around on a painting. Interesting that I was drawn to paint Kayla because of the close value range on those terrific cheeks and neck. I liked how the form could be modeled by change of temperature and very small change of value. I ran a final check of the painting by photograping it in black and white because I was working to keep those subtle value changes in line.

I am often surprised when I study paintings I like how close the value ranges are, Often only one or two hard edges explain the form.

Thank you again for all of your kind comments.

Lovely work!

Can you tell me the name of the manufacturer of the Rose Gray and the Violet Gray paint you used?
