Starting from a picture in B&W I needed to paint a portrait with complemetary colors.
My choice of complementary color for this first portrait rough were green and red.
First step : desaturate my red by adding white then starting muting the color adding small amount of green and black and more red.

Bacall
Between all the pictures available I fell in love with this one. Lauren Bacall was born in 1924 and still acting.
Today, aged 83, she looks like this, still beautiful, a face of character and wisdom.
