Making of this portrait took me some time.
I started it in size I haven't done jet. Cut paper in 50x50 cm square shape. I'm fan of square shapes, but usually I'm doing it in smaller sizes. But there is always first time for everything. Paper is Fabriano Artistico 300gr, my favorite, and watercolors are White nights, Van Gogh and Schminke. Last one mentioned are becoming my favorite lately. Great pigments, and also great tones of blue they have.
So first there was pencil drawing. Japan patterns are something apearing in my work lately, and I have so much fun doing them. That repetition is like doing meditation for me.
After drawing started with first layers of watercolors.Flash tint used is Van Gogh Naples yellow red. Doesn't look so great in this phase.
For background used those Schminke blue tones, indigo and torquise, mixed with Van Gogh Prussian blue and some Paynes grey.
And layer after layer here she is :)
Don't be afraid of the dark
Hope you liked this small tutorial and thanks for watching :)

Waw @jungwatercolor, that is just beautiful! I love your watercolor technique of painting in stages that gives each stroke its own outline. Also, the girl's expression and the background are beautiful yet haunting. Lovely

thank you @ankapolo, I am trying to find out my way in those strokes, to make them like spots with outlines. I am happy you like it, means a lot coming from artist I admire :)

Hi @jungwatercolor, I am not familiar with Schminke, but after looking at your work I definitely have to look him up. Your interest in Japanese patterns is also piquing my interest. Would love to see the finished work!
