Warhol….Watered Down
I enjoyed doing the first Warhol style drawing, so I thought I do another.
I wanted to use a different color pallet….jewel tones. Teals, blues, purples, pinks.
The initial pink was Way-Too-Strong, so I went in and took a lot of the watercolor pigment off (watered it down). Which ended up being the plan for the entire picture.
Apply the watercolor strong initially, then take it off. I liked how the pigment remained dark at the borders.
I ended up putting a lot more detail into the face….which may not have been the best choice.
But it was an interesting choice.
This picture kind of grows on me, if I don’t expect it to look like the original.

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden
