(Day 33) - Painting a Pansy

I've been wanting to try this selective color technique for a while and what a fun flower to do so with. Pansies are one of my absolute favorites. There's something about their bright two-toned colors that draw me in...as well as cause me to draw on them. haha. Actually, I didn't draw on this pansy at all. In my post processing, I took all the color out except purple and turned a small spot next to the marker black and white to give the coloring illusion. One of the things I love about pansies is it truly does look like someone blotched it with a marker! :D

A very big thank you for all the recent views, comments, and favs on my last few photos! Sorry I haven't been around commenting and checking out you guys projects, but some other important things have my attention at the moment. Hope to catch up soon :)
very impressive!
