Colours used for this portrait

A baby's face is soft and requires careful planning with the choice of colours. It is best to have a spare piece of paper and measure the right quantity of each colour.

For the baby's skin I have used :

Permanent rose + Raw Sienna

Quinacridone. red + Raw Sienna

Scarlet red + Raw Sienna (rosy cheeks)

Alizarin Crimson + Raw Sienna

( Apply Alizarin as your last red colour otherwise you will have lost freshness)

All these warm colours are applied on different areas of the face.

For the shadows :

Scarlet red + Aureolin + Cobalt

Permanent rose + Ultramarine + Raw Sienna

Scarlet Red + Cobalt blue + Raw Sienna

Alizarin Crimson + Raw Sienna + a tiny touch of Prussian blue.

For the hair :

Winsor yellow + Aureolin

Raw Sienna + Golden ochre

All with different strength

For the towel :

Cerulean + Cobalt blue

Shadows : Cobalt blue + Permanent rose
