Figure Painting - color study

In this painting, I was focusing on color. I premixed all the colors with a palette knife, and slowly tiled them in. I made sure the colors looked good on my palette before I went to the canvas. 

Just to let you guys know, I've been working on this new artist lifestyle blog (link) that focuses on the character of being a very dedicated artist. In theory, it's a blog not just for painters and designers, it's a blog for any person who is working on their artistry: musicians, dancers, designers, etc...
