Art Journal – Purple Dream

I plan to do another graffiti panel but I had this page started and wanted to finish it.  I have been wanting to try doing something using  monochromatic colors.  I used three shades of purple plus white and black.  I love the deep black that can be made from dark purple and black.  This is all acrylic paints.  I first sketched the girl with pencil and then went over the page with a white acrylic paint wash.  Then I mixed various shades of purple for the rest.  The mouth and nose look off to me but….it just is.
