Dis is my entry for #GirlsOnly 's contest "My Favorite Color."

My favorite color is PURPLE!!
Here's a picture of me from back in the day...aka like 8th grade. [link]

I have purple hair. It's not manipulated...however, I did bump up the contrast which is why my eyes are purpleish. haha

Anyways...back to this painting.

I had...2 attempts. There was actually another part to this. A heart over top of the hand. It was like...drippy. But I was too afraid to do it free hand straight up with paint.

so...The black background is gouache paint on watercolor paper. The blue and red bit on top and bottom, are gouache, and then highlighted with acrylic.

The handprint (which is mine) is acrylic paint, my own mixture.

I might add the heart on before I submit this. I don't know yet. :/

This whole idea came from a random sketch I did last year that I found while going through my old chemistry notes. I may post the sketch into scraps later.

The blue and red are because blue+redurple! also, they're my second and third favorite colors. Probably because they make my favorite color.

I come up with clever dumb titles, don't I?
The Color Purple is a book by Alice Walker.
It's amazing according to some of my friends. If you read the book, this kinda can go to it. It's a stretch....
Anyways. I actually haven't read it yet. I took it out of the library but never got around to reading it. It's on my list of to-read though.

EDIT:
I added the heart! I like it. makes it look less like a 5 year old's finger painting. it may look simple, but this piece took about 6 hours of work. More than any piece I've ever done.
