A close watercolor portrait where a young woman with red hair meets the viewer with clear, steady eyes. Butterflies and light botanicals hover near the temple and cheek, and the open background keeps the features crisp so the first read is strong on the wall. The palette leans fresh with teal, lemon and coral accents that circle the gaze without crowding it.
I developed the piece from gesture sketches and value studies. Broad wet on wet passages mapped the flight of the wings and the flow of the hair, then glazing and dry brush refined petal edges, leaf veins, eyelashes and lips. Transparent washes allow subtle paper grain to show through, while tiny speckles add natural texture and preserve watercolor luminosity.
The mood is poised and contemporary. Printed large, the portrait holds at a distance and rewards close viewing with precise line work and soft transitions. It pairs well with neutral textiles and natural woods, adding a refined botanical note and a quiet sense of lift to modern interiors.
