This is a watercolor I did as a practice study for a larger work. I am trying to study my subjects more carefully to try to understand the person as well as the image that I want to create. This young lady is also an art student. My impression of her is that she is a very spiritual person which, of course, is very rare in a person so young, but her spiritual qualities are something I would love to portray in art.
I am fascinated with her long black hair. I have always drawn or painted people with wavy or curly hair but have not experimented with the possibilities that the flowing lines offer with the long straight hairstyle. I know she will cut it short because most women get tired of all the work and bother of long hair so I feel I want to do as many studies of her and her beautiful hair while I can. I think this picture shows her as a reflective person. Actually when I took the photo that was the foundation of the painting she was concentrating and working on repairing a broken paint brush.
I might try a different medium for the hair in a future project since the watercolor was a little too translucent. If I used ink I know it would be very stark but maybe acrylic might be a good option. I love working in mixed media it expands your possibilities.
I really had a hard time with her skin tone she is more chocolate than in my picture but I will get it more correct next time.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my work. Thanks for taking the time to look. Please take a moment and visit my online art gallery link in the sidebar to purchase my work.
