First colour layer for Heidi

Hmm, too much blending takes the interesting lines right out. 
Note to self for next layer - minimal blending. 

Paints used:  Mussini translucent yellow oxide, Mussini translucent red oxide, Mussini ultramarine blue dark, M Graham titanium white, Gamblin 1980 mars black., M Graham Walnut Alkyd Medium.

Corrections to do:
- lower and relax the man's left shoulder and tilt his head more so he is looking at the milk pail
- correct the top of Heidi's left hip so she does not kick the milk pail
- add a hint of the milk stool and pail, texture the wall and floor (hay, etc.) , floor should be lighter on the left side to show light coming from the open barn door
