Media: Oil on linen panel
Size: 6x6 in
This is portrait 23/100. This was a tricky one, with the bright sun at her back. I painted with the colors that I picked from the reference photo and trusted that the shadow side wouldn't look too dark (even though her nose has a dark purple stripe). I wanted the rosy color in parts of her face to stand out more, so I opted for a background that is less warm than I originally planned so that it would be more of a contrast. The reference photo comes via the patreon of Bryce C. Liston (thank you to Bryce and model Heather). I have more details on this painting, including process in-betweens on my blog: https://tracyhurleyart.blogspot.com
