Now that my SAQA auction entry<\/a> is finished, I’m back working on the wedding anniversary portrait<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the left below is how it looked last week.\u00a0 I found a medium gray fabric that works well for the groom’s shirt. And a black & white floral fabric for the background. I decided the groom’s face was too yellow and green, and needed some other colors.\u00a0 I changed the neck fabric to a blue fabric.\u00a0 I like the color but it’s too light as you can see in the black & white version. Even though I’m using surrealist colors, value is still important.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, I tried a slightly darker blue, which I’m happy with.\u00a0 I also changed the fabric for the ear.\u00a0 I think both ear fabrics I’ve tried are too dark, so I’m going to find a lighter one.\u00a0 Then I will be ready to fuse and stitch.<\/p>\n
