Here she is, finished..last week I included her in small retrospective of female watercolor portraits I made lately. And than I just gave a small sneak peek into it, but today I am sharing whole process of making it.
Also, it's my entrance for I-talent contest run by @ivan.atman, and since I joined last time, well contest has grow a lot, and it's bigger than ever.
So if you are interested, here you can find more info about it and join since there is more time left

As in previous works, first there was pencil drawing made. Drawing of face impression is more detailed than the rest since it has more details on it and it's done more delicate.
Here you can see that face is left for the end, and that's not for no reason. Usually I go first with hair, and since lot of water is used, this kind of work takes few days for me, since it needs time to dry out good. And than I work on bottom, dress part.
Why it's done separated? I love to move water and paint around, to let water flow over paper, and for god control of it it need to be done separately.
Haven't made photos in between so here is close up of finished face. Color I use a lot for a skin tone is Naples yellow. Also I have same color from Schminke and Venezia brands, and they all different. It's funny how every manufacturer tends to have specific shade of same color. So you have to find one that suits you most.

And finished piece, size 50x32cm on Hanemuhle bamboo paper.
Photo is bit pale since I had bad light and than in editing some things got lost, but that's it how she looks.
Must admit one I love most far now, from all those ladies I made.
Even thinking of leaving it a ''mine'' and not to sell it :)
Thank you guys for watching and again if you have time join I-talent contest, have fun :)
