Description "So fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong"
Simply Red - Home

Double post today.
A trial at doing a watercolor portrait and scrapbook corners. it´s just okay though... I´m not the best person ever at using purely watercolors. they are quite limited for me. But it was nice to work with it anyway. First time using a professional watercolor paper, it´s so good.

Reference:[link] Thank you for letting me use your work!
Time: 5 hours
Tools: Winsor&Newton and Faber-Castell watercolors, white gel pen, Martha Stewart corner punches on Canson Montval watercolor paper 270g/m².

I love the addition of the scrapbook corner! It adds a really nice feeling of delicacy.

Your watercolours are lovely here.

Wonderful choice of scrapbook corners! I hope you add more scrapbook stuff to your picures.

Hehe, I think she turned out wonderfully and somehow reminds me of Katniss from the Hunger Games.

They add such a pretty edge!

Did you hear about the "New Twilight", as they call it? It's a book trilogy, called the Hunger Games. Katniss is the main character. She's this brunette with a strong nature and uses bows and arrows. This girl looks like she's hiding one of those where we can't see it.

You're welcome!
