Short poses today were outside until the sun went in plus we had two models. Four 5 minute and four 10 minutes.

Then inside, about 80 minutes. Started off too light with the shadows and rushed at the end to fit in some contrast.

Having read of a ready made paint mixture, Moonglow by Daniel Smith, that separated into purples and greens I decided to try to mix it myself. Colours used were French Ultramarine Blue, Viridian and a Permanent Alizarin hue. Just messing around really though it would be nice to be able to include this as part of a structured work.
