For the record, painting from life is excruciatingly more difficult and frustrating than painting from photos. Also, if you want to know the palette, it's the same as the previous painting post.
I took this exact class last semester, but from a different teacher, and it's been interesting to compare how and how much I've grown in those two courses. This particular teacher is Robert Barrett and our focus is usually on color and light/shadow quality. This particular model was lit with an incandescent (warm light), with open north-facing windows (the coolest of natural light). The colors are, of course, slightly exaggerated, but whatever. It's all about the process of discovering and depicting them. It's a bit like a child learning a word for the first time and then yelling ever time that s/he sees it written: that's me with color right now:
WHAT? WHAT?! IS THAT A CAD ORANGE I SEE??? IT IS!
It's a lot like that, actually...
