![]() Here is a demonstration that I did at Weekend With The Masters in Monterey, CA. This is what Charles Hawthorne used to refer to as a “mudhead.” These were models, backlit against the ocean. The flesh was so dark that is resembled the color of mud. Hence, the term “Mudhead.” I warmed up and lightened the ocean color to offset all the darks in the figure. My Model, Erin, is a silhouette against the water in the distance.

I've always enjoyed looking at "mudhead" sketches, Camille. This is a nice one! I also like your palette attached vertically to your easel.

I love your work. I wish my 82 year old bones could come to Calif for lessons. Meanwhile I will enjoy your paintings. Thank you for including me. Carolene
