Painting - Watercolor On Yupo
Description
Now That I Am Old, I Shall Have Purple and Green Hair, watercolor on Yupo by Conni Schaftenaar.
I've been playing with watercolor on yupo lately and got the urge to do a self portrait. I was blessed/cursed with naturally curly hair, which was basically dish-water blonde/brown (ash) and frizzes like crazy. When I did my self-portrait, I decided I would have curly hair, but no frizz, and it would be purple and blue with highlights of greens. Why not? And, purple glitter eye shadow, too! Again, why not?

Conni, thanks for sharing the tips in the watermedia thread of The BUZzz! I smiled at the memory of when we both decided to amp up our FAA avatars…the thing was…I REALLY did put PURPLE highlights in my hair! Hahaha. The technique used was …rubber gloves and paint vs. paper towel..:-)) thanks for all you do in the BUZzz.

Conni, I love this piece! What a delight to have purple hair with bits of green. It is so exciting! I love the freedom of young people who dare to create rainbows in their hair. Congratulations on your Third Place Tie in the Self Portrait Contest! A wonderful piece, well deserved win.
