Red hot panda

 

Acrylics.



'Red hot panda'.  Acrylics, 9 by 12 ins., paper.



'In the wetlands.'  Acrylics, 11.5 by 16.5 ins., paper.


Two reworked acrylic portraits.

Still working on portraits in acrylics this week, but I think I will switch to watercolours as JULY is WORLD WATERCOLOUR MONTH!!

1. The red hot panda is a paint over of  the original work where the girl wore a cold green dress.  I felt she needed a red dress and so I changed it.  That's the good thing about acrylics...you can paint over many many times to get the look you want and the layers give the image more depth of colour.




2. As for the wetlands painting, it went through many reworkings.  It looks better IRL so I have still to take a better scan or photo of it.

I wonder, will you be joining in the July Watercolour events?

I like the red too-it seems like just the right color. Both of these paintings are beautiful.
