A close up watercolor portrait of a Tuareg woman in profile. Deep indigo and warm earth tones shape the layered headscarf while transparent washes reveal the paper grain. Fine lines define lashes, the nose bridge and the soft outline of the lips. A single earring and small indigo symbols across the brow and cheek add character, with restrained drips at the lower edge so the silhouette stays crisp against a light ground.
This image grew from studies of fabric and side-light. I blocked large shapes wet on wet to let color travel through the folds, then returned with controlled glazing and dry brush to refine highlights, edges and tiny transitions around the eye and mouth. Small reserved whites keep the iris bright and pick up metal gleam on the earring without losing watercolor fluidity.
The mood is calm and dignified. The profile view creates a clean graphic read from a distance yet rewards close viewing with delicate textures and stitch hints. Ideal for contemporary interiors seeking refined cultural portraiture.
