I'm new on the site and still feeling my way around. I have posted here and there so this is my oil offering. It was glazed over a grisaille.

Hi Margaret,
All I can say is Wow! This is so expressive. Great detail.
Can you explain what you mean by "glazed over a grisaille"?
Thanks,
Jim

My, my... This is really good (seem to have an old Rod Stewart tune in my head). Where did you find such a fascinating subject?

So sorry for not getting back to this thread earlier! Life happened. Jim by saying "glazed over a grisaille" I mean the painting was done in black and white tones and then glazed over with transparent colors. See attachments.
