Not real crazy about this one. Actually, I painted the face a few months ago (for Fabulous Faces) and added the background today (a day late). It looks more vibrant and interesting in life.
I'm trying to achieve a particular grungy effect, but haven't found the right substrate to do so, except for on journal (composition book) covers, which of course are not archival. For some reason, I love painting on thin paper glued to thick cardboard. The cheap watercolor paper that I used for this portrait is too absorbent, but the good news is that I finally got a bunch of Arches hot press watercolor paper today, as well as oodles of graphite, both water soluable and none, as well as more watercolors—gouache and Neocolor IIs.
I don't know what to play with first.
Love the purple hair and the background with a door and window.Sounds like you got alot of grat art supplies to play with, look forward to seeing what you come up with Cheryl
