Purple and Me

Progressing on my painting from last week. The first photo is how messy my art table looks in process. The second is a (terribly lit) closer picture of the painting. And the last one I liked because of the cool effect making her hair look almost lit up at the ends. I'm absolutely passionate about purple. It's kind of a secret dream of mine to wake up and find I've gone purple. Sorry, she looks a bit creepy with empty eyes; it didn't seem as unsettling in person. Ha. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

  4. I love the way the hair glows! Did you use some irridescent paint?

    Your art table looks pretty tidy to me... I usually have to dig to find a flat surface to paint on!!

    1. I used metallic paint. I think that's what gives it that glow. And as for the table, I usually have to dig out a spot too! :)

  10. I'm in love with purple too. All shades of it! My son watches some cartoon and there's a girl with purple hair on it. I so wish I had the nerve to color mine the same shade. Let's do it!!
