My first full color portrait :) Last time I tried the dry brush technique, so I thought why not doing a full portrait with this technique? After applying a few colored layers with oils, I added the details with the pencils. Usually the hair is my best part, but this time seams like it didn’t turned out as I thought.
The colors have been also a challenge for me. But this is the beautiful part of art, discovering new and new ways to express yourself. So, I believe that with this portrait I reached a milestone, and from now on I will not be so afraid of colours :) (don’t take it literally).
