Thanks Gav.
The hair was a mixture of ultramarine blue and burnt umber mixed with titanium white. and a little bit of yellow ocher in some parts.
I make black with ultramarine blue and burnt umber. Add a little white (of course) and you have grey.
A warm grey has more burnt umber a cool grey has more ultramarine.
The eyes or irises are the same colours again.  |

Great job, Daniel, wonderful.
I too like to paint older people, their faces are so much more interesting.
