This mixed
media portrait painting was created with colour inspiration. One thing that
really gets me excited is discounted art supplies. As a full time artist there is often very
little budget left for art supplies that are not immediately needed for a
project. But when my favourite local art supplies store had a huge sale I
thought I would treat myself! I was extremely drawn to three bottles of liquid
acrylic paint; one bright lime green, one dark metallic brown, and the other a
pearlescent green. As soon as I returned
to my studio with these little bottles I just knew I had to create an artwork
right away and immediately knew which colourful beauty would complement my new
colours. The stunning curvy beauty Christina Hendricks in her bright yellow
dress, deep blue eyes, turquoise earrings, and bright red hair was the perfect
match. Using many layers and much
attention to detail I created a checkered background using my new acrylics and
a smooth creamy portrait using oil paints. There is no doubt that colour was
the inspiration behind this beautiful piece of artwork.

Wonderful!
