BB Painted in Dan Gheno's artist class at the National Academy School. I used a combination of cadmium orange and ultramarine blue to create the rich shadow tones. Initially, I underplayed the shoulders, gradually widening them and adding muscle bulk to add strength and poise. I also widened the stance and set the feet at different levels. I tried to minimize the use of highlights until I really needed them, so as not to wash out the beautiful flesh tones, made from a mixture of naples yellow, cad red light and orange, and maybe some raw sienna.
