Sunday Sketches, Summer of Color - Charcoal Grey and Pale Pink

I was inspired by this fashion photo I saw in a magazine.  At first impression, the colours didn't seem to work, but then they did for some reason.  It is an intriguing combination.

Art Inspiration



Here is my version.  It's a store mannequin in charcoal grey and pale pink, a  greeting card in acrylic (5 1/2"h x 4 1/4"w).

nice job especially considering changing color adds some challenge.

Great interpretation (or reinterpretation?)! Those colors would be a challenge for me. SOC sounds like a lot of fun.
