This is very elegant, I'm loving the subtle tones and air of mysetery.
Just lovely ^^
What kind of watercolor did you use on this? It looks a bit like watercolor pencil to my eyes....

I much prefer this color tone to the others, it's absolutely gorgoeus. The shading is perfect- it's something I've always had trouble with when it comes to watercolor so I guess I've got this increased appreciation for it. The best part is her hair, I think. It looks wonderful!

Oh thank you so much!watercolor is a patient medium. you got to let it dry sometimes to continue working on it to avoid some blending or bleeding. the hair took the longest with all the layers. thanks again!
