Description
As I said before, the mood is the same as before. But now in color. I think, in the three-color palette it looks even more dramatic than it could be in black. Hope, you like this one.Related content

I really like the three colors you chose for this piece. It really shows that the woman in the drawing is going through tough times. An event (a tragedy, I presume) that caused her to wallow in despair. Considering the title's namesake, I assume that whatever happened caused her to feel desolation. Even the drooping rose illustrates the mood perfectly. It is a simplistic style, but that is not complaint.
Your choice of using watercolor is brilliant. Is this a style you do often? Because if so, then I expect more work like this in the future. If you are new to this style, then you should keep at it and improve.
If I had any criticism to make about your work it would be the line work on the woman in particular. I feel as though the lines on her arm and hair should have been softened out. Not only to convey the emotion of the setting but to make it look a bit more polished as well. However, If it was your intention for it to look this way, then that is perfectly fine.
I would suggest looking into more watercolor paintings in real life, or at least examine the strokes. It help will help you tremendously, if you choose to do another piece like this one.
Other than that, this artwork is absolutely extraordinary and I recommend for you improve your skills and hopefully create another piece like this one. Maybe even better.

Thank you so much for such extended critique!
I am happy to hear your opinion and especially to hear that you like my work.Β
This picture was my first try in this style and I was not sure in that I did, just followed my inspiration. Now I want to draw some other pictures in the same style and improve it. Thus, I have uploaded one just a few minutes ago, so you can check it, if you want. I will be extremely happy to know your opinion about this one too (^__^).
I can agree with you about the line work. Now I am experimenting with it and trying to find the best way to draw lines that will looks good for this style. But it is not an easy task for me...
