This is the first in a series of watercolor portraits. Normally I have used acrylic or even Shiva oil sticks. But I like painting them with watercolor too. I use flesh tint gouache for the base tone then add shades from there. The butterflies are collaged.

Really love the stained glass look of this one. Bravo.
Oh she is by far my favorite so far. I love the stained glass background and the butterflies and oh, she looks like me at about age 13. Wow!! Love her, great job.
I love this very much. The butterflies are the ice of the cake. And the colours in this piece are stunning. I shall return to see more.
