I saw this little guy yesterday at Starbucks happily reading the comic pages as his mom was buying his beverage. I worked with a triadic color scheme using alizaron yellow, pthalo blue and fanchon red (similar to napthol red) and white. My board was prepared with a dark venetian red gesso which I thought would work well for the chair and floor area. I really like using the darker gesso except that I have a hard time getting the lights as light as I want them. I am going to do another version of this large, a different choice of colors and with a lighter-toned panel. I love the subject!

It is a nice subject. The boy is dwarfed by the large newspaper. I remember reading the comics and wondering why adults were more interested in all those other boring pages...
Merry Christmas.
Great job! I like the touches of light. And l like your subject. Thanks for sharing your palette. I think painting this again using a different palette will be fun and interesting to see. Looking forward to it!
Great job w/ all the values and limited details.
You have had a productive year! Merry Christmas, Vicki.
