20 in 20: June Birthday Bash Giveaway, Day 3

For Day 3 I decided to take inspiration from the kaleidoscope drawings that I’ve been working on lately, drawing from the transparency and fine line texture.

This is a gouache painting, about 3.5in wide and 4.5in tall, on a 6in square piece of Arches 90lb paper.

A note on color: I do my best adjust the color of the digital images to match as closely as possible, but it’s tricky business. Compared to the image above, the light blue in real life is a bit duller, while the orange in the center is a brighter coral. The colors most closely match to what you see in the first image in this post.

If you like this painting, leave a comment on this blog post and you’ll be entered to win it. It’s as easy as that! For more information about the giveaway, read the Giveaway Details below.

Many thanks to Abbey Hendrickson from Aesthetic Outburst for providing the inspiration for this project!
