This is one of my favorite sketches from 2010 done at the Society of Illustrators. This was one of the costumed nights and Sara had a lovely Poison Ivy outfit on.

If you're wondering why this painting is not of a nude, check back to previous years to find out.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.

Detail:

I've been so busy the last few months that I haven't had the time to go out to the store and stock up on supplies. I'm running low on a lot of my usual colors and I'm out of the Schminke English Red (the color I use for my skin-tones). This has forced me to experiment with colors that I usually use sparingly. The warm skin-tone in this painting was achieved by mixing Permanent Carmine (which I normally mix with Ultramarine or Cobalt Blue to get the Violets I use in the shadow areas) with Lemon Yellow (which spilled and dried all over the mixing area of my palette). I had to use up the Lemon Yellow either way, and mixing it with the Carmine made for a happy little accident that closely mimicked the English Red but with stronger intensity. It's amazing how long you can be playing with color and still be surprised. I hope to have a lot more of these happy surprises in the New Year.

A happy, healthy and surprising New Year to everyone! Thank you all for stopping by.

This was the most experimental piece of the night. I borrowed a brush marker from my friend Randy Gallegos. The ink bled as soon as I applied watercolor (with my finger). The marker bled further when I sprayed the piece with fixative to seal the pastel touches before scanning the painting.
