TWGREY1-550

T.W. with Grey, 16 x 12″  oil on linen

Being involved with painting the outdoor world as much as I am, I really value the opportunity to teach  classes  involving the human form. When I teach,  I always paint along with the class.

This is a portrait  head completed over about 12 hours from a favorite model.  Since we have students new to color, I often choose to have  black and grey tones in the composition so that they can key their flesh color mixes against simple values.

The model looks good against grey, anyway.
