70's Freddie Mercury -water colour- purple

                                                   70's Freddie Mercury- water colour

This has a nice loose feel but I'm pleased I've kept his animated expression. The secret is to stop before it become 'wooden'. The colours are translucent and not muddy, I'm actually pleased with this for a change..

                              Kept this one loose..it has photographed a bit pale.. — I like it..

My melancholy blues - water colour

 My melancholy blues - water colour

A bit sloppy this one, I like them when they are looser than this, but the likeness is ok..I should have done more with the background, I made it too dark too early on and couldn't throw down any colour to rescue the flatness. Still it might have detracted from the face so maybe it was for the best? 

Happy Birthday Freddie!

Over worked this one a bit..and lost the likeness somewhat, but hey! Happy Birthday Freddie!

Freddie- a garish colour palette

Freddie- a garish colour palette. I set myself the challenge of using no warm, earth tones, no siennas or umbers..just the weirder chemical colours that are less common or unknown in nature. —
