I got the rough idea for this from a picture I saw on pinterest, but it ended up completely different. In the picture it was a wood palette, where the silhouette was outlined with black, which left the silhouette itself filled with the pattern of wood. I really liked the idea of doing a silhouette inside out, but I didn't want to do it on wood, as that couldn't go into my sketchbook when done.
So I did a thing with watercolor.
I put some colors together on the paper, smudged them around a bit, splattered some more color on and let it dry.
When it was dry, I drew the figure on and got my black paint out. After outlining the figure with a small brush first, I started to fill in the blanks with black. I left it to dry and I was ready to feel proud. It came out as I wanted it to and there is no better feeling then that. May or may not make another one or two. Different colours, different techniques, different faces, this excites me.
Have a nice life,
