This week's challenge at The Outlawz Monday Greetings challenge is Sewing, fake or not.
Our sponsor for September is Fabrika Fantasy. I chose this beautiful image. I colored her with pencils using mineral spirits for blending. It took so long to color her, about five hours, but I am really pleased with the finished product. When I first got a close look at the image I just thought there is no way I can color this. I remembered past coloring of very detailed images and I used Prismacolor pencils. I really have started enjoying my pencils. This image somewhat reminds me of my daughter-in-law, Karena, even down to the hair color. The only thing I would change is the color of the peonies. They blend in too well with her hair. Coloring is definitely a learning process.
