"Verd" usually means green or is the root of the word in many romance languages. In spanish we say "verde." The reasoning is that the warm tones of the flesh will really sing over the green paint. Donato uses a similar method sometimes when he first puts down a complementary color of whatever the final local color will be. What you actually did is called a "grisailles" which is pretty much a b&w underpainting. <br /><br />However, all that is just a technicality. It looks absolutely stunning Kim. Personally, I love the way it looks right now. It's reminiscent of unfinished master paintings, or their studies.
