Eye Practice
Not much chance to paint today but have done a few swatches of graded washes using three primaries and then this eye. The colors used to paint the eye were Indanthrene Blue, Cerulean Blue, Quin. Rose, Cad. Red light, Yellow Ochre and Azo Yellow.
Great eye - I am sooooooo weak on portraits - I agree with Katherine - you inspire me to try portraits - one of these days (I promise!) (My work verification is PROMESS - do you think that means I better keep mine!!!!)

Thank you for posting things like this. I learn so much from studying your work. This eye looks so real. I'm going to go paint something right now!
Katherine, thank you for finding these practice pieces informative and an incentive to paint. I hope you posted what you painted. :)
Very nice!
