Boy, did I have a lot of fun creating this portrait, I hope it shows. The great thing about the Artisan paint (at least on paper) is that you can treat it like oil paint or like watercolor or something inbetween. I will definately use it more often.
I used a limited palette:
Ultramarine blue, Burnt Sienna and Titanium White.

Hi Erik. I've never used that oil myself but you made a wonderful painting with it! Beautiful rough strokes. I like that!
I love that you are not afaid to make mistakes, from your learning ...
Limited Pallets are a good thing to explore from, and it seems to have a harmony that gels!!

Im really impressed that you created all that color with three tubes, very impressive. Drawing looks great too on this one.
Thank you Renate! I've switched to regular oils for my canvas paintings but the Artisan paint works wonders on paper, didn't expect that.
Sandra: Thanks! Don't be afraid to make mistakes because you probable learn more from your mistakes than from your successes. Also, oil is a forgiving medium so you can make a lot of changes if needed :)
Hi Douglas: Thanks! It's very freeing to work with such a limited palette, a lot less choices to make haha :)
Love the rugged feel to this portrait - very expressive! xx
Thank you Pat! The rough Fabriano paper is a nice surface to work on.
