At each step, the toned ground offers the option to cover up mistakes, either by lifting marks out with mineral spirits or just painting over them with another coat of PGM, which will match the background perfectly.

Samantha, life study, monochrome oil with Torrit Grey
At the Portrait Artists of Arizona open studio yesterday our model Samantha held a STANDING pose all day!

Materials were white, black PGM, and Torrit Grey.
