Description Ok Version 2.0 of [link] This looks so much better! Got the proportions right this time How do you guys like the hair? Too messy or not messy enough? How do you like the background? Did it using an old technique I saw off episodes of Art Attack on youtube.

This is for and her Traditional portrait contest [link] Wish me luck!

This was made using watercolours - a medium I'm not too good with or familiar with. This is my first watercolour painting in a long time. I need to get practise with masking fluid too - sometimes applied it to thick so I peeled the paper and to thins so it wouldn't rub out properly.

She kinda reminds me of Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth due to her cheeks, lips and lack of eyebrows I also think due to the swirly ear ring she kinda looks like an African Queen.

So great that viewer gets poweful impression of artist's unrestrainedness while inspired by model, to get hair go crazy - that is the way right?

All good Yeah I think second versions of things are better because you can think it through (+more ideas) atleast thats how I find it

Definitely. And you realise you were too lazy the first time.

Dang that sucks. My mac is very screwy with internet connection. But at least it's not electro-heat shocking me anymore.
