This week's colors are candy apple red and yellow. I wasn't feeling inspired, but that had more to do with my week than the colors. I almost didn't participate, but I decided I just couldn't let myself do that, so I forced myself to sit down last night with no idea what I wanted to do.
For some reason I got the urge to paint this drawing I had previously done based on an actual doll that I'd seen a picture of. I decided to do it in watercolor, even though it's not on watercolor paper as soon became abundantly clear, so there are some issues with the paper in spots where I was trying to do multiple wet layers - that's what I get for not planning ahead.
The mystery substance around her neck is supposed to be some kind of filmy tulle that the doll had as a collar - not quite sure I achieved that look!

ReplyDeleteI realize I'm running really late, but wanted to get here before the next challenge went up. I think you draw really well, whether using watercolors or not. If I could draw and paint like that, I'd be thrilled. You did a MARVELOUS job with the SOC colors.
