![]() This is a beautiful rendition! I believe this is the first time I’ve seen a sample of your work. (the picture references are on my homepage….click on my name/profile and drop down to the line for homepage and it will take you directly there) i once did a commission for a man that was in jeans and done much more realistically….i’ll see if i can dig a picture of that up because those jeans would actually probably be more what you are looking for. also in the image of Cricket and Gidget….she has blue jean shorts on, but i painted them very lightly with just a suggestion. i’m pretty sure i used ultramarine as the base. if you look at the image of the harpist….the outfit she is wearing is blue, but it also has greens and lavender. i also tend to do my garments in a style akin to Sargeant. Is this helpful? the only thing i know to tell you without seeing the painting is what i would do. ![]() ![]() ![]() if you are looking for something not so “active”, try indigo, or try adding a compliment to the blue to dull it up from the baby blue ….something like just a touch of raw umber in the mix….or try going into the yellow family so that the folds will jump up more from the ultramarine….something like a hansa yellow light, but with white in it brushed gently on top of the fold and then wiped (use a slow drying medium for this type blending….like goldens acrylic glazing compound with a little water). When i paint blue jeans, i use a gazillion colors because there is so much play in the folds. Could you post a picture of it? that might generate more helpful responses for you. ![]()
