Figure with Shawl, "stage 2"


This is more like "stage 1a"--I went in with some acrylic but lost daylight before getting paint everywhere I had planned. A detail, maybe slightly distorted from the angle on the easel.

Or maybe a tattoo. This is the first place I stopped to photograph: watercolor--ultramarine turquoise, quinacridone magenta, and quinacridone burnt orange--and graphite, 22" x 30" on 300 lb. Arches HP. The turquoise and magenta make a lovely subdued blue, not that it's visible anywhere on this painting.
