Warhol….Watered Down

Meesh1e

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.
