This is my memory portrait. I did my cousin Colin. I had a lot of fun with this because we were able to have free range with what we did. I decided to use watercolors. I chose to use flesh tones and then add some purple and red, and just a touch of green for the shadows in the face. I used a touch of purple and blue in the hair along with brown. I chose to do a bright color for the background so the picture still looked cartoonish. When we hung them up people said that he looked more like claymation, but whether cartoonish or claymation I like him. I also think the reason why people thought he looked like claymation is because I decided not to use any marker or lines with the painting. I have found that Im not the best at line drawings or adding lines to drawings and since we had free range I didnt want to destroy the picture with bad black lines.
