Ann and William, Selfies, by Elaine (jaguarish)
It's a challenge to depict someone as famous as William, but I had a go...
The blue - I'm not sure - but it's probably Prussian blue mixed with a hint of cerulean. I keep coming back to these two blues somehow - they feel more like true blues to me. :) Although good old ultramarine is always handy.
