This is a watercolor portrait of a woman looking down and away. I did the painting on watercolor paper 9x11.
I began with a pencil drawing that was not too detailed, then I started with the grays. After laying down the grays I cam back with some of the blues and violets. I didn't add as much warm tones as I would normally but did put in some rose color and senna to balance the cold hues.
I don't aim to make it very representational but to make an interesting picture that has a statement and beauty.
Normally I keep black to a minimum but here I went a litter further with the black and grays. The last thing I did was to use a little titanium white acrylic to dampen the colors and give a few whitish highlights.
The last step was to do the detail work of eyelashes eyebrows and some line work in the hair.
As I was painting it I began to fear that the portrait was going to turn out badly but I actually am very happy with the way the painting turned out.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my work. Thanks for taking the time to look.
