A few months ago, I decided to start a series of paintings featuring inspirational women. In the list of females I wanted to pay tribute to, Audrey Hepburn was among the top few. Infamous for her style as much as her grace, its easy to see why she was the perfect muse to kick off this new series with. Like most girls out there, I have always been enamored by her classic and elegant personal style. I chose to do her portrait in my art medium of choice, watercolor paints. I only used black pigment for her portrait to reserve that timeless quality Audrey has.
I also honestly just did this portrait because I couldn't afford to buy the $60 portrait of Audrey selling at Target. My room's color scheme is black and white and I really wanted the painting to add to it. But seeing as I am a college student, I made do by painting a portrait of her myself to put up in my room.

ReplyDeleteim fascinated by how much you can do. ive done a couple watercolors myself, and i find portraits are the hardest out of everything. sceneries are easier cause you can make up stuff. but wow, im stunned. they are very gorgeous. oh one question, does the paper wrinkle up? if so what type of paper do you use? and it looks a million times better than whatever poster you were gonna get.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!!! I just adore your attention to detail and the shading in her hair, drawing/painting hair is always so tedious for me..lol
ReplyDeletewow i have no words..... speechless ;-)
