🔷 🎨 Blue / Marie-Antoinette look/ watercolor portrait

jungwatercolor (63) in slothicorn • 7 years ago

As young girl I was attracted in drawing beautiful women in gorges dresses, and if they had some romantic hair styles, it was even better.

This day while working on this series of portraits with dreamy looks, like my childhood dreaming woken up with this one.

Same as few portraits made before, light pencil work was done first and than watering down details of drawing before applying colors.

You can see that I am not giving to much attention to drawing details, since I will manage them later with color. Color is something I am more interested in these pieces. How it will react, or how can I control it to look like color made flow, but controlled one.

Most of it is done with larger amounts of water and color on wet surface of detail, and than with slight bending color slight over paper and connects with other color.

Face and portrait details are done light on purpose. To make contrast with rest of painting, and not to choke whole image face is done with pale skin tones.

And here is finished piece

If you are interested in more details about paper, colors and technique, you can check previous post with this subject

Love to hear your thoughts and comments on this one

from this post I will use #originalart tag, one that during conversation with @juliakponsford was suggested as a tag that we will try to preserve good and original art, and posts that are only really ART related.

I am loving these dreamy ladies and I know how you feel about gorgeous dresses. I have been drawing painting dresses since I was a child, only I never stopped :)

Wonderful work as usual my friend.

I like those - they are fun - love the "hair" - unless you are planning this already, should make a series.

In your works there is exactly what I can not do in watercolor. Bold beautiful fills and spontaneity. I still have to learn and learn from this. Very very beautiful.

So, if you are making this kind of art after one year, imagine what will you do for several years :) I am painting watercolors last 8 years, and at the beginning I had same attitude when seeing work of someone who is so long in watercolor.
Now, when I see works from that time I smile and see all their flaws. Who knows, perhaps one day this paintings will have same effect as my skills will develop more..Same goes to you @voronenka, just paint, you are great in it already.
