Tango I (Adding colour)





Oil on canvas, 16" x 25"

Having roughed in the sketch with a mixture of Burnt Sienna
and Ultramarine Blue, I started to add some colour. The
dress is Cadmium Red with Phthalo Green to darken it for the
shadows, while the highlights on the shirt are pure Titanium
White. I also extended the background colour to separate the
dancers from the space around them.
