Love the light blue of the dove's eyelid! I love your son's advice to you and it seems like you two are very close (like my oldest son and me :) I NEED to get back to sketching and painting. My youngest son is 4 and I have one more year before he goes off to school... ;( So much of my time is spent with my little man. We also have been busy getting our house ready to be put on the market. UGH. But that is done, now it is every three days I clean ... just in case someone wants to take a look at it. <br /><br />You are so fun and so hard on yourself. I think you are fabulous with color and movement. I like the skin color tip and will have to remember that.

When I was designing kitchens and baths and residential spaces, I was often asked to help pick wall paint colors. I would. Then the client would question my choice that it wouldn't match her whatever-she-was-matching. I always laughed inside. My choice always matched. I can buy a blouse that will exactly match a skirt without having the skirt with me. We artists have this talent from years of looking at and mixing colors. If we're off, it is never by much.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-90033966742581583182012-03-15T15:32:07.272-04:002012-03-15T15:32:07.272-04:00I was amazed Celeste.

When I first read it, I thought what will I be able to see through that tiny hole--but I saw a lot--I also liked having the card big enough where I could try out the mixes next to that hole. Then something else occurred to me: Lisi and a few other artists I've been reading recommended a beige or gray palette because it's easier to mix the right color on a neutral surface than on a white one. Well index cards are white--and if you're using them to see how you're doing with your mixes--the two pieces of information do not jive. I'll try a tinted palette anyway.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-22144071096749812852012-03-15T15:26:18.420-04:002012-03-15T15:26:18.420-04:00Kathryn I just showed the portrait I did of myself...Kathryn I just showed the portrait I did of myself that had red on one side of my face and white on the other to my beauty operator; he thought I looked sinister. I can be sinister if pushed, so it did show a fraction of my personality. Portraits are nervous, because one mark done too flippantly can change the whole expression--or lose the likeness--particularly around the eyes and mouth.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-18391621592523947442012-03-15T01:35:50.072-04:002012-03-15T01:35:50.072-04:00How many things are learned, a useful method to fi...How many things are learned, a useful method to find the right shade of color, it also takes much skill.Gabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499409226824501080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-15061964290748230322012-03-14T23:52:19.037-04:002012-03-14T23:52:19.037-04:00the punch hole thing is a great idea...I think I s...the punch hole thing is a great idea...I think I saw that in Kevin MacPherson's landscape book.

If you noticed, I kept trying out my mix next to the hole till the mix matched. Then I applied it to the area I was doing and it was perfect. In the book, the fleshtone appear too orange for my idea of flesh--but I think that may have been the fault of photographic reproduction.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-92168832212752605962012-03-14T19:06:55.230-04:002012-03-14T19:06:55.230-04:00I thought so too Agnes.
