Head Painting: Week 4

This week we started using the "Zorn" palette which is: white, black, a warm red, and yellow ochre.  Thankfully it wasn't as tricky as I thought it would be to get the shadows to look cool with such a warm palette.

The first painting I did this week did NOT turn out.  As Brother Barrett said-- all the problems originated from not getting my drawing (the proportions and features of the face) right before I kept going.  Oh well! That's called learning I guess.  And thankfully the next painting (the one below) was much better in my opinion.

Pretty cool to think that his "blue" shirt is actually just black and white mixed together!  Good ol' relativity. :)
