Summer of Color - Week Three


Well lookee, lookee who's posting before the next colours are announced. And with not one, not two but three pieces. *Shines halo* You aren't dreaming. This is happening.
The colours for this weeks Summer of Color are (not were, are) Lavender, Grey and a smudge, splash or pop of Plum.
First up are a couple of Wonky Cat. I draw Wonky with my left (non-dominant) hand. These are on watercolour postcards. The difference in using decent paper has been amazing this week. No warping at all.

I'll be doing some more of these and sending them off to Sarah for her Free Art Friday event that's launching in Swindon. If you will be near Swindon on the 25th - 26th of July keep your eyes peeled. I know she's had some amazing submissions to release already.

Then - I really want to try and do a face for each colour prompt so I was chuffed to bits to get this one done today. Slightly smaller than A4 and again on good watercolour paper - OK, yes, I'm a convert - the hoarding will stop. I'm only as good as the materials I use...etcetera, etcetera. Lesson learnt!

I used the below photo as inspiration - I've used it before to trace and then watercolour. This time I wanted to draw her myself - I told my girls she's the saucier side of Pixar - she really is Frozen! Bahaha!

I found this image on Pinterest ages ago, it's a favourite to draw. I have tried , many times, without luck to find the original photographer. If anyone knows who it is please let me know so I can link and give credit.
If Sarah wants her, my Lady Butterfly will be toddling along to join in with the Free Art event too. Counting her as number 16 of my 40Portraits.
If you'd like to see what the other participants have done with the colour prompt, or join in yourself you can look here. Thanks for stopping by today :)
