Portrait 37/100












I have been taking an experimental color class by Zoey Frank, and it inspired me to try a different 3 primaries for this portrait. Titanium white and Hansa yellow medium are staying, but my blue is now phthalo blue and my red is quinacridone magenta. I enjoyed trying to match colors as best I could, even though some couldn’t quite get there. Thank you to Faeza Sa on the Museum app for the charming reference photo. I really like the shape of her hair.

Here are some process shots:
