8x8, oil
Still working with a limited palette of vermilion, yellow ochre, blue black and titanium white. I found it very frustrating this time. Dealing with a photo is another issue for me. I need to really get contrast and shadow in photos. Well the whole thing is about color derived from a limited palette, but I really want to produce better work. I'm just not sure what direction I am going in right now. These times always produce growth if I am patient.

You my friend....may be a bit too hard on your self...this piece is so full...and yet so so subtle. It is very Very well done. The sweetness of the child exudes through.

I am doing some experimentaion as well, using the Zorn Palette and various other ones. I am on a search to find out which colors work best for my work. It seems that established artists find a palette they like and then use it all the time for everything they paint. So, a process of discovery is good! These Zorn portraits are great!
