Layered up
I love it when a plan comes together or, more specifically, layers do!
One sketch over some inky paper, one splat on the palette and one 'I prepared earlier'. Then let PhotoShop mix 'em up a little.
She's just the effect I was going for. Grunge, street art, urban, layered.
The colours and texture are just totally lush - seriously, don't you just want to roll in it? I want to wear this painting, I love it so much.
Raw, edgy. Suits my mood, which if you follow my blog may have noticed is a bit of a swinging affair these days. Probably not enough chocolate, despite the supermarket's best attempts.
She is me.
