Mrs Emma Peel
It was always going to happen. Steed needed a partner. I decided to go for Mrs Peel, a character that was sure to make a great painting.
After using two of my favourite three tundra colours yesterday, I made the other one the star today: tundra violet. And I decided that one layer of paint would be enough. But I couldn’t resist dropping the other four tundra colours in wet into wet for a bit of variety. Just like yesterday, I worked quickly, using the masking fluid to aid rapid painting and rewetting anything that looked like it might be drying too quickly.
I weighed down ridged cardboard again while the painting dried. The texture’s come out pretty unevenly today, which I quite like. It’s good to have variety in colours and texture when only a single layer of paint is being applied.
I’m calling this one another success. There’s a lot of white space there on the paper but I think this makes things more interesting. Mrs Peel is up for sale but as part of a two painting collection with Steed.
