I've been working on this watercolor in between illustration work.
After posting this, I realized it works very well for this week's Illustration Friday topic, Homage. As you may have noticed, it is a humble homage to another Mona.

ReplyDeleteI really like this portrait – watercolor's vivid colors like "royal" and the simple composition which is very powerful and bold.
ReplyDeletelovely work
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see a real original illustrator. I really like what you are doing. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe depth of the watercolor technique is stunning!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Fantastic work, I’m in awe. How do you get such brilliance with watercolour? The skin tones are also masterly. I’m thinking many, many washes. The loose hair has to be something else. Ink? Secrets, secrets; do you give courses?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to browsing you blogg!
Thank you for the lovely comments. Son of Incogneato, no secrets really, just lots of paint. For skin I usually build up quite gradually, using both drybrush and wash techniques. For anything bright I'll start with a quite heavy wash of local color then add in shadows until I'm satisfied it's dark enough.
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFULL!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about it!

ReplyDeleteFirst time I visit your blog...amazing!! I´m truly happy to have discovered this site...love your work!!
ReplyDeleteYou should post a blog on the process of a painting. Put up a picture of each stage of the piece. I'm so curious to know how you do it!
ReplyDeleteI love your drawings as well as paintings. You have great ideas and I like the way you draw your characters. I looked at your website and sketches and I thought the girl in the bathtub was so funny with the text and all. Great work!
