I am still working on the Hand online class. This is the second painting, using 2 hands. The instructor made hers with a bathing suit and big legs, but i turned mine into a dancer It was such fun. I started by drawing on my 100 lb paper, then I went over it with white gesso. After that was dry I used a large alphabet stencil that I love. I painted over it with the turquoise and purple.
Then from there I drew my figure, and then painted using acrylics and a 2" brush.
I only used 3-4 colors. White, buff, flesh, red oxide and a little red. The background is purple and turquoise.
I drew the image with a charcoal pencil, then painted with out using any water. Just a moist brush and paint. This was so much fun. It is big. 20x26.
