Description Inspired by this beautiful photo [link]

Also an attempt to achieve a slightly looser style as one of my tutors suggested but i'm not sure i went far enough.

I did try some new watercolour techniques though.
The only thing i keep the same are the elongated necks,so yes,it might look weird to some but it's completely intended.Because i like long necks.

Ink and watercolours and a touch of pencil.

And here you see its companion piece,the Bird Song.

beautiful. her face is so soft and fresh. i like the subtle coloring and effortless lines of her neck and jawline. also how you didn't use lines for the soft parts like her hair. looks really pretty.

I like it. Yeah, I do notice the elongated necks as part of your style, so it's not something that really stands out as being improperly drawn anatomy or anything.

I think the experiment turned out really well. I like the barely-there tufts of green around the nest.

The face is so perfect <3... I'd like to have a woman like her in my life.. Her eyes.. her mouth.. all is so perfect <3.. I obviously like this painting and the style of it.. furthermore I would like it more if you make a theme of it with a modern haircut much like a Long hair with bangs up the tabs <3 hahahah just to have it in my memories for ever and ever (excuse my english, it's not my native language)

Very pretty! The long neck and the bird's nest match well together!
If you want a looser watercolor style, you can easily go further, it might be an interesting experience!
