Iris


struggle, struggle, struggle, but I do like her face. I stopped going straight in with caran de arch watercolor crayons. Her face is almost entirely acrylic titan buff, aliz crim, raw sienna. I just don't know what to do with the composition sometimes....going to stay away from caran de arche to start and just get a good acrylic base down for skin tone....

  2. It must be the hair color. This lady looks happier than others down farther in the posts. Could it be the fun time you had with daughter and friends showing in her? Very nice as usual.
