Blues

The title is probably a bit misleading

My favourite colour to work with is blue. There are endless possibilities for depth when you are dealing with blue. I'm having trouble putting it into words.

Here is a WIP I am currently working on.


I've used blue tones for the shadows of her skin, and turquoise and yellow for the highlights. The result is a sort of translucent shimmering look, which I really like for underwater settings, as well as dim lighting and murky ones.

This painting will feature jellyfish. I've wanted to paint them for a really long time. They are so beautiful and mysterious and colourful, but their structure is quite complex, so I am looking forward to the chalenge.
