I had a big drawing with part of the face painted in duck egg blue, which I really liked. However it felt unfinished so I added some more colour to the piece. I painted more of the face and the hair but in different colours, a light yellow, light pink and a lavender. This made the piece more interesting and its looks finished now, not incomplete. It looks more like a Textile print now I feel. Please see the pictures below.
Above is the finished piece, once I added more colour to it other then just the blue. I think the colours work well with each other and I'm pleased with it. The only thing that did go wrong was the colour eye. However I quite like it being blocked out. To begin with I painted it yellow but that didnt look right so I went over with the purple and that works better!
Below is a drawing I did of a a women sitting with hair curlers in the hairdressers. The drawing isnt my favourite, but thats the whole point of the close up continous line drawings, you dont know how its going to turn out.
However then I added colour to the drawing, and I think its too blocky. The bright yellow and the green is a bit ugly I think. However I like the purple lips. Its an experiement, but I prefer the first one I did.
Below is a piece I did yesterday. Its my favourite one so far. The drawing I really love and the paint I've used so far works really well. I left it yesterday as I was pleased with it and didnt want to ruin it. I think I'll more colour to it, slowly as I really like this final piece and I think it will work well against my odd-bods.
This is AMAZING lil! I think this is really great!
