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.
This is beautiful..I love the girls in watercolors too..

ReplyDeleteOh 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.
