"Life in the Fast Lane" 11" x 11" $145 SOLD
Acrylic and permanent marker |
Back to painting acrylics for this one! This painting went pretty smoothly, although I had to resize my drawings several times to get the size that I wanted for this format. I drew my image on tracing paper, and then enlarged it on the printer to the preferred size. What did we ever do without the computer and printer? I find that I'm a little out of my element when I go to Paint-in's since I don't have my modern equipment right by my painting desk. I started with a wild underpainting, using mainly blues and greens. I like starting with the opposite color because I knew that I wanted to do a red painting today. Then I wiped out the light areas, using rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. I love the marks left by doing it that way. I doodled on the background and her dress, using a permanent marker. I'm pleased with the colors, but then I am partial to red. Even my grandkids know that red is my favorite color.
Another great one. I do love the red color and the pattern. You have a great sense of composition!
ReplyDeleteLove your colors. There must be a way to do this with watercolor. Congrats on another great painting.
ReplyDeleteWay COOL!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like the pattern in this work = )
All the best with the NEXT one!
I love that red and tend to associate it with your work now. Love the pattern in the background being reflected in her clothing. I must try that rubbing out, very used to it in other media, just not acrylics.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so gorgeous! How does one go about purchasing your art?
