Here’s a portrait I painted on my thigh last night with the new tin of purple face body paint I got from Amazon!
I’m curious…which way does she face, up or down, when you stand up? I don’t paint, so to me it would be difficult to paint her such that she is right side up when you stand.
Very cool. I can for sure hear her growl.
She would be upside down if I was standing, it was much easier to do right side up facing me while I was sitting. It IS a good learning exercise to try to do a painting/drawing upside down though. That’s the kind of thing my college illustration professor would have us do, to make us “see what’s actually there” instead of what “we think we see”.
Either direction, I’m totally impressed. Her facial expression is a wowza!
Super impressive and interesting canvas choice. ![]()
I love her expression! The shading with her hair is especially beautiful.
Congratulations! Your Purple Portrait is a Featured Project this week!

So very cool. You should paint more often. I love seeing this. Great color palette too!
