Cold-Warm Figure Painting -- Updated


The image below is from my sixth session Feb 15th.  In this exercise, the skin tones are primarily warm (Venetian Red + Flake White) with grey added in areas to cool them down. I just finished the stomach/chest area last Wednesday, which followed the previous week's attempt to get the temperature of the legs right. The legs are relatively "cooler" than the stomach because they're picking up reflections of the (cool green) platform the model is sitting on.  The shadow area in the chest/stomach is more isolated (or in other words less influenced by the environment)  and so it has the warmest, most intense red.  I still have to model the feet and hands but in general I'm moving up, focussing on the warm vs. cool relationships.
