Three Value Thirst

Giving my decrepit shitty brush a rest and pulling out a bright #4 for a value study portrait. I used caput mortuum and some titanium white to create three values on the palette, although I didn’t use much of the white in the end, because I decided to use the sketchbook paper as the lighter value.

This is a nice practise that is a step on from a Notan study, and I prefer having the third value.

The page was thirsty, can’t imagine why.

Would love to paint this one from life 😉

Til the morn,

Suzanne
