A close watercolor portrait where a veiled woman turns toward the light as butterflies and blossoms gather near the temple and cheek. Transparent washes keep the skin clear and the features crisp, while open background preserves strong wall readability. Color sits close to the veil edge so the gaze remains the focal point.
I developed the piece from gesture sketches, laying broad wet on wet passages to set movement and light. Then I returned with glazing and dry brush to refine eyelids, lips, petal edges, leaf veins and the thin lines around the hair. Paper grain shows through the color and tiny speckles add natural texture without crowding the silhouette.
The mood is poised and contemporary. Printed large, the portrait holds at a distance and rewards close viewing with precise line work and soft transitions, pairing easily with neutral textiles and nature inspired decor.
