This one is from a pair I wore as a bridesmaid many years back. Does anyone out there know how to mix a bright, neon magenta? That was what the highlight looked like on this pump but I couldn't find a way to mix it!
Wonder if you just bought opera pink and used some of it toned down for the highlights. I remember an instructor in a watercolour class using it once and saying how intense it was for hot pink flowers... I am just assuming some company might make this colour in oil paint. This shoes is very Sassy... great title. Kim
I have trouble getting that color, too. Adding white just washes it out. Permanent rose with cad orange does sound as though it would work. I've never tried Opera Pink.
Hi Kim, I like Dana'a mix but there is also a tube colour made by Holbein that I think would become your oil version of Opera Pink for watercolour. It's Holbein H801 Transparent Rose. I got mine at Delta(www.deltaart.ca) (checked Curry's site but don't see it).Have fun! Love the shoe series!

I mix permanent rose with cad orange for that neon color.

Gorgeous! No idea how to mix neon magenta - yikes.
Thanks! And thank you for your mixing tips. I will definitely play around with them. Good to know :)

I am speechless, you are a painter with style!
I love the perspective and the brushwork. Red heels are killer.
Kim, I agree with Kim Blair try opera pink or Rose violet...they make great bright glowing magentas! Just loving your shoe series!
Love all your shoes, but this one ... wowzer!
