| Face 26 |
The
prompt at The Artist's Play Room this week is blorange! Jen has
picked Blorange as the word is for the colours Tracey Fletcher King
loves – blue and orange.
I have been wanting to do a red haired
girl for a while and this is the perfect opportunity. I am getting
near the end of the 29 faces in February challenge and ideas are
starting to thin out. This watercolour was painted from a photo of
myself when I was a “young slip of a thing”, Yeah okay, I didn't
have red hair, but sometimes I put an auburn dye through. But you
know artists are allowed artistic licence. Oh yeah I got green eyes,
oh well the face is mine!
So
here is my blorange entry, strangely enough those colours have been
on my radar. Last week I was walking past a gallery and I did
a double take as there in the window
was this amazing abstract of blue and orange. It was small a print I
think, but it really got to me. I looked at the price $1000, yelp!
So my
mind has been playing around with the concept and when 29 faces are
over don't be surprised if you see some blorange work coming your
way!

What a pretty young girl, with hopes and dreams in her eyes. I hope they came true. I think they did, you look such a happy person. Great painting, and a lovely subtle way of using the blorange.
ReplyDeletethat's beautifully done. you capture faces well. I haven't even tried to do faces yet, more power to you!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the APR - I take my hat off to all artists, but I particularly admire those that can 'do' faces. She is a very pretty girl, with secrets me thinks. I'm sure she wants to grin widely but is holding it back, fear of giving the game away. :0) Mo
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty in blue. I love her eyes!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you used your colors, especially around the eyes and hair. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have used Blorange... she looks a little like my niece who is a blorange... gorgeous blue eyes and the most glorious orange hair, cut just this way...xx
ReplyDeleteI love this, Sharon!! I actually considered DOing something with my son, a redhead, who I have several photos of with him wearing blue, AND his favourite colours are blue and orange [had them in his wedding cupcakes and groom's cake] BEcause he is a huge Syracuse Orangemen fan [no coincidence I graduated from Syracuse University]
ReplyDeleteyou've got a handle on these faces. way to go!!
You are so good at doing faces and the colours are fabulous. The eyes really draw you in, I love it.

As always I'm in awe of your incredible talent for drawing faces!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for the 'blorange' challenge although it doesn't look like you've had much of a challenge here ;D
Have a great week and see you again soon!
