END RESULT:
(for now, this is what I showed at critique, but it still needs work)
CLOSE-UP:
Dress and Texture
THE PROCESS:
painting in my studio...
...apartment.
with a limited pallet:
alizarin crimson, cadmium red med, cad yellow med, cobalt blue, raw umber, and titanium white.
I find that having an extremely limited pallet challenges me to create every color from scratch, and I usually only use umbers for the under-paintings and force myself to mix browns from primaries as will, so that my colors are consistent. It also keeps me from being lazy ;)
The underpainting and beginning of wall texture
Underneath the finished pretty face is this super scary one! (above)
My friend Maya came over and painted with me in the last stages
This was her first painting... EVER!
Then Jasmine, the star of the painting came over, and made silly faces to inspire me:
(my muse!)
And of course, taking breaks for music was a crucial part of the creative process :)
