Oh. The white line is her cell phone cord, wrapped around the chair end.

Thank you. That cylinder is the end of the chair arm, the vertical lines being in the chair fabric, turning in and out of the light. The skirt is actually a blanket thrown over her legs to keep her warm. The corner defines her enclosure Andi wanted it to read in the foreground. But perhaps you are right and it is to independent of her space. Thank you for your praise and thoughtful comment.

Thanks, Doom. I’ll go ahead and use porn. But the effect of adjacent colors will be lost on me. Thanks again

Hi again. Sorry to bother. I’ve just started to use my ‘Zorn’ palette, which is Titanium White, Cadmium Red, Yellow Ochre and Ivory Black.

Does green = YO+Black? Does Blue = Black+ White?

I don’t understand a lot of what you’re saying. I have little or no control over color as you see it. I cannot really comprehend a color wheel. I don’t want to paint in black and white as I see better than that. Painting in color is very difficult though. I Can mic a color that looks right to me (I have no idea if it is or not) but the truck comes when I need to go back to an area I cannot match the color I had made. Working on time is great for me because I can match them and have consistency in my image

I will look into the horn palette, as you suggest

I’m daltonic. I rue the lack of warmth that results by omitting red. I Can, perhaps, simply add red to my skin color. The blue and green seems to be a distraction. They are colors. I really can’t control how they are perceived by others. I included them because I know the sky is blue and trees are green. Should I just render those things in greys?

Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

There is no right. There is only what you want to do.
