Radiant Orchid and a Hint of Black Box

SO…the big Pancakes and Booze Art Show is coming up on April 10th and I’ve been steadily working on ideas for my body painting model, Adrienne. I went through all kinds of ideas from paisley and Tiffany glass to gemstones and glitter but I’ve finally figured it out. Back in January, Pantone announced that the Color of the Year was Radiant Orchid (you’ve seen the pinkish purple hue on many-a-hair-do I’m sure), and it hit me… Radiant Orchid + orchid drawings from my Floral Sketchbook + powdered white muses = body painting. I’ve included some visual aid to show you how I reached my conclusion:

Color of the Year

Floral Sketchbook – Orchids, pg. 1

Design work on a broken mannequin

This will probably be more centered when painted onto the body – perhaps in a diamond shape?

Dollar Bill’s weights got sold, my magazines did not.

Need I say more? Oh yeah…
