Summer of Color - Red, red, metallic

Here is my Summer of Color entry this week done in my art journal in acrylic (8 1/2" x 11").  I just drew the model's face and hands in with a pencil.  Kristin chose red, red and metallic for this week. I am using a burgundy red for the shoes, and a metallic bronze for the shirt, with a red skirt on my model.



Here is another photo where I tried to get the bronze to look more shiny in another angle.  I had fun with this one!

The bronze definitely comes through better on the second one. It looks better that way so good call.

It IS hard capturing metallic. I too had to take several angles of pics. Your model is beautiful and I love her chic style!

That is a beautiful outfit you designed. And I do love that you chose bronze as your metallic - it goes so well with the burgundy.
