Description
Flame Red FW ink and M. Graham Watercolours.Arches 140lb cold pressed, 7"x10" watercolour block.
I was going to call this one 'Blood Moon', then I started painting and she came out more strawberry pink. I like it this way.

It's so pretty.Like, the color of the hair reminds me of milk shakes which i TOTALLY love, but at the same time it's calm and sweet, so it made me recall a sweet memory when I was drinking milk shakes the first time in that new café with one of my friends.
Thank you for it!!

i like this but i think some soft blue tones in the red (for purples) would have created a MUCH better contrast/depth to this image

nah it just super saturates the reds. or I desaturate and lose the vibrance in the midtones.

I have the limited elements edition, and darkening the darks just makes them redder, haven't figured out the seperation of dark tones so I could desaturate them seperately

Love this! Her hair sort of looks like seaweed, and the moon looks fantastic!

Lovely piece... very Mucha-esque. The limited colour palette looks great!
