I painted it using only paynes gray, naphtol red, yellow ochre and white. Pretty much the Zorn pallette - but with a hint of blue from the paynes gray. The red was reserved for the backdrop and a few key items. The skin is a mix of white, paynes gray and ochre making it a desaturated green, that contrasts nicely with the red elements.
I love painting like this. Putting realism to a side and just going with what looks good and frames focus to the important parts of the scene.
Hope you like how it turned out

So great! I live how much contrast you pring with the single color backdrops with the zorn-esc mini!

I did my best to max out the contrast with this one. Green vs red + saturated vs desaturated.

Great imagination and colour division. I like how the red background really centres and focuses the bust and the thread wonderfully stands out. Really great stuff.
Mikkel Frederiksen
Thank you .-) Getting the thread to stand out was definately part of my vision for this project. I altso wanted to emphasize a sence og space in the sculpt, by having the red element go from the back og the scene to the front.
