Beanie

Title: Beanie - Part of the 1+1Colour Challenge
Medium: Schmincke Horadam watercolours
Permanent Green PY155, PG1 #526
and a discontinued violet called "Echtviolett"

Note: It's truly amazing how it's possible to get a credible skin colour by watering down some colours. The girl's face was coloured with an extremely light layer of violet, and it still looks quite natural, at least IMHO.

The 1+1 Colour ChallengeHello dear DA-people!
Today I've stumbled upon the 52 Weeks Illustration Challenge http://www.illo52weeks.blogspot.com.au/ and really liked the idea. However,  I'm neither on Twitter nor on Facebook, (and I firmly refuse to go there, thankyouverymuch!), so I thought I'd start my own challenge.
THE 1+1 COLOUR CHALLENGE
One is only allowed a maximum of two colours and the whole range of their mixes, plus a minimal dab of a third colour to accentuate some parts, (e.g. a touch of red to the cheeks or something small like that).
The focus should be on one specific colour, ideally the second colour should enhance the first. Secondary colours are probably a good choice.
A white gel pen can be used for highlights. Any traditional medium is OK, but digital must be left out! (My medium will be... watercolour! )
You're welcome to join in or to suggest colours.
Today's colour was Schmincke Horadam #654 Caput Mortuum, an opaque auburnish brown with a violet undertone. Pigments: PR 101
