Thank you!

I pared back my palette for this. Cadmium red light and alizarin crimson; cobalt blue and ultramarine; cadmium yellow medium and yellow ochre. Those were my basics, and a lot of white of course. There are some touches of raw sienna mixed in here and there, and cad yellow light for the bright tag on the collar.

The learning curve is constant for me. I should have been taught all this in art school but wasn't. So I'm picking things up from other artists now.
