Beautiful. At first glance, I thought it was a photo - the gold is so enchanting.
Hi! As I always I photo this is a photo when I looked at it.
I was lucky enough to get your book Color and Light for birthday last week and I would like to thank you for making this amazing book. I immediately fell in love with the book, I already tried to apply some of your advices to push myself out of my omfort zone. I can immediately see a difference in how I approach paiting.

What is a Oil wash??
Mitch, I don't know if other people use the term this way, but for me, "oil wash" means using oil transparently, thinned down with mineral spirits and Liquin over a pencil drawing on illustration board that has been sealed with acrylic matte medium.
Why did you choose to not put in really high highlights--as in white or almost white?
Mark, there are some highlights in a warm white, but I was conscious of not overdoing the highlights.
