I started this painting by blocking in the large shapes in the general color.
Limbs Venetian Red, Naples yellow, Titanium white and the dress pink.
The back round is a mixed gray. I hardly ever use gray or black from a tube these days.
It helps me to squint while looking at the reference photo, this makes everything blurry. If I just paint the blur I won’t get hung up on the details to early.
At this stage I just want to capture the gesture.
I'll let it dry now and move on to something else.
