Support: 5 x 7 panel true gesso
paint: Used recipe from Koo but couldnt get it to emulsify . I added one egg yolk later.
Brush: Mostly princeton short liner 10/0, rigger for hair, flat
Following steps from italian botticelli site. Instead of adding oil to ground I just blocked in color with TG.
White for skin
cad yellow hair
black for BG
Those colors are all good. Used diluted black ink for shadows. Tried using pure colors and going over with just white.
Used raw umber for lines. I still need a combination of some mixed with white before painting.
Colors that are good:
Yellow ochre
Vermillion
Raw umber
Black
Rose matter
Should try ultramarine blue for under
