Summer of Colour #3

This weeks colours are...............

PURPLE + PURPLE + YELLOW.

For me at first I thought it a daunting combination but that is the great thing about the Summer of Colour challenge. You try things out that maybe you wouldn't on your own. That is why this is such a popular and fun challenge.  If you haven't joined in yet give it a try. You can read all about it here.

This is my entry for this week.


It began with a layer of assorted papers and then some acrylic in the SOC colours then I used a black Stabilo All pencil and a water brush for the girls face. There is also some gesso in there too.

I am also linking this to Art Journal Journey where this months theme is Masculine/ Feminine
Thank you to all who have visited and left such lovely comments I really do appreciate hearing your thoughts.

THANKS FOR VISITING

    This is a real beauty. I love the mixed media aspect, too. You were not the only one thrown by these colors. I thought this was a difficult one.
