So overall this consists highly of cool('cold') colours,leading roles played by blues of varied values and, maybe for balancy or else, for synthesis, purples slightly ascending and descending.(Interestinglypurple becomes the prima donna on first view)
It is usually not ideal using watercolor in portraits (abstract or realistic) instead of more 'sculptural' medias as oil. However she's successfully found out its own advantage: the comfortable effect, transparent, feather-like 'visual weight'. The face was shaped such that gives out relief and relax, and surely sub-conscious temptation and if any, a little blue emotion. Eyes like clear-water wells, flowers more than decorativation but also notes of atmospheric mood. Like this a lot.

Vision:
The viewer is left feeling refreshed and captivated by her gaze.
Originality:
The focus on one shade and complimentary colors makes this work stand out from previous ones. It draws my attention because of the soft colors and lighter shades of the face.
Technique:
Realism: The attention paid to the shapes of her face and the planes of the composition make her real.
Eyes: There are endless depth to her eyes. I fall into them and want to remain there.
Impact:
I can't look away from her eyes. She represents the emotions, mystique, and beauty represented by the violet.

OMG so Beautiful!! I really love how the whole thing was done. The eyes, the flowers, the point of view, the style, the color, everything! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I still need more words...I love the bluish-purplish theme too. And how the colors on the face aren't all realistic, it adds kind of an effect. Love it! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
