"Don Keemauv" (pastel, 8x6 inches)

I already had a donkey titled "Lavender" and since lately I've been naming the donkeys "Don Ke...." or "Donna Ke..." I decide this one could be mauve.
Here are some progress shots:
The first layers are gold colored. This is Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold
fluid acrylic color mixed into
Golden (brand) Fine Pumice Gel. The gel is clear, so the color mixture is semi-transparent, and gets darker on each application.

The final layer of primer is the
Art Spectrum (brand) Pastel Primer
in the terra cotta color. I lay it into the darkest areas, then scrub
and dry-brush it into the medium values of the gold to continue the
value scale and add more depth to the monochromatic underpainting.
Then, on to the pastel!
Thanks for watching! Please share!
