Final Scan & Detail : Purple Tigerpixie

March

2005

HERE she is. You can also see the close-up of her eyes, which I think turned out just purpley!

This is going into my monochromatic series. I use a limited palette of 3 colors (normally), Carrie’s consists of indigo, violet and flesh. I did end up using just a smidge of white as well on this one. I wanted this series to be a little more “loose” than my regular works, with more visible brush strokes. It’s hard for me to let that happen, but there are some visible here! LOL

Also, if you don’t know the “who” of who this is, you can visit the Purple Tigerpixie’s website here, or her blog, here. She’s an artist and friend, so you can see her work, too!

I agree Kris! Carrie’s just a cutie-patootey, a great subject for a portrait!

[…] This is the last monochromatic I did, right before we left on our first ever family vacation, a purple monochromatic portrait of an artist friend of mine, Tigerpixie. I need to do more of these, they’re a lot of fun! […]
