Description Watercolour - WIP

When my daughter Robin first mentioned that she wanted to dread her beautiful red hair, I thought "No way, you'll ruin it!", and after a week or so of her father insisting that he'd disown her if she did (lame scare tactic), the idea started growing on me... and... (confession time) the anticipation of PAINTING all those dreads was what really sold me. Does that make me a bad mother?? Oops Still so much to do, and what you see here, again is just a snippet of the whole... and the silver streaks you see will soon be rubbed away, replaced with snowflakes.

Doesn't make you a bad mum,just open. My parents used to throw a wobbly and then be over it, so all you had to do was plug your ears and let them vent! Just their way of de-stressing I guess. Not a big fan of dreadlocks as a look but they have a real nice feel here; like something from the sea.

That is really impressive work! I think it would probably take me the next two decades to get that much skill (If I'm lucky ). Really great skin tones (something I struggle with) and the detail and color in the dreads is phenomenal.
