As for my colors, I used cerulean blue and a combination skin tone of raw sienna and cobalt violet light hue. It's actually a little washed out because I went in too dark at first! Hope that helps.

They may go dormant for a season, and even get a little rusty, but they're still there, waiting for us.<br /><br />I love the sketch of your dad. You really captured the bluish translucency of aging skin. My mom's looks just like that. May I ask what colors you used?SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384679661417868129.post-74122193470212407602016-03-18T16:07:10.406-04:002016-03-18T16:07:10.406-04:00thank you my friend!

I hope that you can be proud of yourself for that.<br /><br />I too cared for my Father at the end of his life. Although it was only a year, not several. I am so proud and grateful to have had that experience. Even 30 years later I feel that it was truly my best achievement in life.<br /><br />Your art is a god given talent, and you will never loose that.Ray Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347006333473864890noreply@blogger.com
