Painted using Ivory Black, Titanium White and Gamblin's Torrit Grey.  The paint company Gamblin makes this oil paint from recycled pigments collected from their air filtration systems.  Each batch is a different grey depending on what has been produced since the last cleaning!  It is named Torrit grey after the air filtration system.

I woke at 3am and not able to get back to sleep got up and painted this face. It was one of those that seemed to paint itself.  One of my favourite of the Victorian Faces.
