Background Colours for a Portrait
Before going ahead and finishing the face, I decided to try out some colours for the T-shirt so that I could start thinking about background colours. I've used Ultramarine Blue for his shirt because I think it will go well with the baby's pink and purple top. Ultramarine Blue is a purple/blue. I can see now that the green I washed in previously for the background will be horrible. I think I'll need something dark and strong to bring out the faces. I'll leave it for now.
