I experimented with color on this one. I'm trying to let the value do it's work and not worry about the color. I still have in my mind that skin is, well, skin color. Maybe I should try painting upside down so I don't think about WHAT I'm painting.
Roxanne is part of our notorious Hilton Head Gang. Here is what has been said about her:
"Roxanne "The Streak" Duke is so named because she is stealthy. She streaks by and shoots at will and disappears before detected by unsuspecting victims. Roxanne flies under the radar...finding a photo of her was not easy. we had to scour the internet, check past flyers and canvas neighborhoods just to find this one. We don't know when the photo was taken...her look may have changed. Scrutinize everyone you see..."

I like the colors you put in the skin - very lively! and the values work out fine, so mission accomplished!
I've done drawings upside down, but never painted this way. Could be a great exercise...
I can tell you are operating on a later clock. Your comment came through at 8am my time.
Thanks for the positive comments. This HHG has been fun and productive.
I agree with Regula! I work on values constantly. It tend to stay safe and am trying to break out of my comfort zone. Doing these mugs has helped me so much!
I'm loving the color you used in this mug. Looks great.
Very nice color palette.
This is great! I like how you have used the temperature to show planes. Beautiful work.
I'm 3 days late on this. How did I miss it? I like your colors. They are bold and saturated. I'm always working on values. It's a tough job. You've managed to succeed!! Swell done!
dynamic Color and brushwork.
I'll BR checking the bulletin boards at the post offices ;)
