Experimenting with juice..

I made this illustration a while back, when I was preggo. I was craving beet juice all the time. I loved the bright magenta-red color of the juice stains on my cutting board while I cut the beets before putting them in the juicer. So I used the juice to paint, hoping the color wouldn't fade after a while. Well, it's been over a year and the color looks the same as it did the first day.

The actual illustration looks so much better in person, for some reason the colors look dull when I upload them to my blog.
