The weather wasn't looking good today so I stayed indoors. After a run of straight…
Cammie II
After two days out on the road with the watercolours, today’s weather forecast was more than welcome and I’ve been painting in ten studio while the rain has been coming down. I went for the inktense pencils today as I didn’t want to spend too long painting and quite fancied putting my feet up and reading a book.
Today’s model is Cammie, making her second appearance. I repeated an earlier colour scheme, putting indigo down in the darkest places and then bright blue and poppy red in the medium toned areas, trying to vary the colour around to make things interesting.
Cammie came out OK but I think I prefer the way I used these colours for Miriam, where I used the blue for most of the mid tones and only added a little of the red in a few places afterwards: in this one the blue and red have ended up sharing equal billing.
Still, Cammie’s definitely worth a place in the shop window. I especially like the hair today. It was the main reason I chose the source photo that I did and it s good to see it playing a starring role.
