There has been a lot of talk lately of using a combination of mediums so I decided to give it a whirl. I went out of my comfort zone (although not completely) and used coloured pencil for the hands using a technique of using complimentary colours for the undertone to give depth. The hands were first a combination of turqoise and lavendar. I then did them in peaches and pinks. I think it adds a lot of depth. The background is done in acrylics.
You can find this painting listed on Ebay here.

Oh... this is so nice!
It would be so nice on a card for Valentines Day.
Leola, do you ever rest???
You are very much like my daughter, she paints too and she's always with paint brush in hand.
Hugs,
Susan.
Oooh-la-la Leola! This is beautiful! It's fun to play with new techniques, isn't it?!
really creative subject. The hands look great!
This turned out very nice. I often admire some of the work artists produce using the mixed media. One of these days I will have to give it a try.
