This was painted using lead white paint. You might say "big deal" but let me tell you the Lead white acts completely different from the titanium. I hadn't even realized that I was fighting the titanium until I got my new white. BTW white paint is about half the paint on any painting so it's a critical component.
It's not just the paint that's changing either. This is a definite transition piece. It was painted somewhat transparently. I'm going to be doing a lot more of that as well as glazing ect in my next paintings. Also here I'm making my break with detail I want a more emotional evocative feeling in my work...
