These are quick paintings, and since I couldn’t continue the lovebirds (indigo isn’t dry yet), I decided to spend a few hours doing this one. These don’t require an underpainting, so they only take a little while to complete, painting wet-in-wet.
My monochromatic paintings consist of one primary color (green), one light (yellow) and one dark (indigo) to contrast. Including her original eye color brought my color palette to 5 colors for this painting (french ultramarine & white).
Makes ya smile, doesn’t she? She’s a pretty young lady, sweet as pie, too.

Okay, that gave me a jolt! It’s very cool, though… bet she loves it! :winking:
I really like the Lime green piccy the blue is an awesome contrast 😉
That is so cool! I love that you left the eyes blue! I’m off to check out the other Monochromatic pictures
OMG this would be one of my most favorite people portraits by you it’s so excellent and full of energy! :yahoo:
OH I LOVE IT!!!
Seeing as how green is my favorite color- I’d have to say that this is an AMAZING portraite of a beautiful young lady w/ FANTASTIC blue eyes!! And the color is perfect for how she has her hands up to her mouth as if she’s shouting!! Great photo and painting! Nice work.
Pamibe – did it knock your eyes right out? It keeps doing that to me, too! 😀
Oracle, thank you! :beret:
Sarcasmom Thanks! I don’t have too many monochromatics yet, maybe I’ll finally get that series beefed up this year. 😀
Erikie, you’re too sweet! After all these years, that I can still manage to impress you, well, that’s impressive. :winking: :iloveu:
Tommi – I’m tickled (green) that you like it! It’s a ton of fun to do these monochromatics. 😀
