Here is a project I did in a day. It is a portrait of a young woman in three-quarters view so the face is slightly turned away and in this case, the chin is up so she is tilted back a little.
It is mixed media. I started with a pencil sketch then used ink to put in some of the basic lines. I used water based markers to sketch in some parts such as the hair and the background. The majority of the area was done in watercolor. I early on chose the cooler colors to complement the effect of her pose. She is blond but I decided to use blue and white in the hair. I used white gesso in the hair and parts of the face, and background then used black gesso on other areas. I use acrylic on parts of the hair and face.
I am mostly happy with this picture but I wish it was more than just a face.
