Summer of color is a fun project and a wonderful community of artists from around the world. Last year we followed ice cream inspiration and this year there is a voting process to choose the color combinations. The first pick is citron green and turquoise.

I was having some trouble with using only water soluble oils and getting the colors citron and turquoise. I have a limited selection of colors and really mixing what I had wasn't cutting it. So... I grabbed the old water color set and laid in the bright colors. Then using the ws oils over the top was kinda easy and added another dimension. Hmmmmm... maybe I'm on to something here.

Citron Green and Turquoise are not necessarily the colors you want on faces but you managed to make them look lovely! Very nice!

Awesome portraits Marji. Colors are great.:)
ReplyDeleteI have been playing with watercolours and acrylics together with The Cuppa project... great fun to work in a new way, but hadn't thought of combining with water soluble oils... sounds like something I should have a try at ... very cool faces... xx
ReplyDeleteLove your faces, great use of the colour prompts.

ReplyDeleteThe portraits are beautiful - and I think you are right - the oils over the water colors adds a special depth.
ReplyDeleteLove your SOC-portraits Marji! Beautiful work ....
ReplyDeleteWOW! Such eye candy~ I love how you added the bold watercolor on top (so cool in the corner of her eye up top ;) and how impressionistic these portraits are. The brush strokes and colors are really so beautiful and so intriguing. Thank you so much for sharing your work with the SOC, xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Your colors look amazing, you did a great job with the SOC week 1 colors. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did here - not colours you'd associate with faces per se but I love it even more for that reason - it works wonderfully.
