This is for the summer of color week 3, pink week, over at twinkle twinkle......
There is a story why i did this portrait "sketch style"...... i just received Misty Mawn's book, unfurling, and in it there is an exercise where you sketch with a "stabilo marks all" pencil and then you soften the lines with a brush and water....then you can use color. i used water soluble wax pastels.... this was the first one i did and i decided that i would use the color pink and use it for the week 3 at twinkle twinkle...

Love it Janie!--of course I have the book, and of course I haven't even touched it yet--I wish I had more hours in the day!
I love your pink lady--she is just great. This book is on my wish list!!
Terrific artwork and loving your Shades of Colour Pink. Annette x
She is lovely and has a far away look in her eye. I like the flower as well, nice touch.
I love all your color-themed portraits. This one is lovely... probably a hair shade that my daughter would like to have (if I allowed it).
Very, very charming piece! She looks like she's dreaming about something...
What a sweet face she had. Lovely!
She is so wonderful! I LOVE her! We are on the same page - just got Misty's book and am trying to incorporate some of her ideas into my art too!

I was looking forward to your piece this week and as always, she is just stunning! You inspired mine this week, just so you know ;) I want that book - I met Misty at an art retreat (my first) years ago and she is so kind and giving. I love what you have done with your new inspiration, xo
I just love her pink hair!
She looks great! Are you enjoying the book?
oh the nice pink creation...I don't have the book of Misty but next winter I will order it...I will try for sure...see your next creation...the yellow one...
Nicely done. I shall have to look for that book.
This is beautiful and what a lovely effective technique you have used...wonderful work...xxx
This is so lovely. I'm so in awe of all you gals who can draw such lovely women/faces! Love her hair!
You did a great job, she`s fantastic! :D
oh wow, that is a more sketched look, and it is great! Different feel from the last ones. Interesting how a different material does that. This is soft and lovely. It is a look I know.
I love her pink hair against the blue background. Very pretty.
Your portraits are lovely and I love the pink hair.
Fabulous! I adore her pink hair. I need to get Misty's book!
I adore your portraits hmm and your flowers! Looking forward to watching your projects.
Love the pink hair!! beautiful painting Janie!
Gorgeous work! Love the way you you did this! (I have the book too and never would have thought to use the the pastels that way!) Beautiful effects. :)
She's fabulous in pink! Nice job, can't wait to see your *yellow* work :)
