Yesterday was the final sitting with Lorraine… I will take the painting back to Antioch Atelier (the model sessions were held at Lafayette Studio), and finish it there.
I have been mostly using Rublev paints from Natural Pigments, with the exception of Vermilion Extra by Old Holland and Ivory Black from Utrecht paint. Lots of lead in some of Rublev paints; I keep my turp separate and clean brushes, table and easel thoroughly after each session. The lead white is really nice to work with!
