Watercolor pencils on paper
27.55″ × 19.68″ (70 cm. × 50 cm.)

Commissioned work.

I had to scan this work before finishing for a matter of timing, I still worked on it a bit, mainly smoothing some shadows on her cheeks so they would look more realistic. Also, I looked at this image in a CRT monitor and it looked awful, very dark and the contrasts were really weird. However in a LCD monitor it looks good, similar to the original piece, so let me know what you think, please.

    This is incredible. I thought it was a photo until I read your info.

  • :) This lady that commissioned me told me that every time she stands in front of the portrait it’s like satnding in front of a mirror. It’s what I tried to achieve. Thank you!
