        Took me way too long to get around to finishing this but she’s done. Made over about 6 months using Arches Hot press watercolor paper and Holbein gouache. What emotion does she give off?

            Excellent work! But emotion… well, looks like she cried a lot. So the mood is in accordance with the palette you chose.

                            Yeah, now it shows.

                            To me, too, she looks terribly sad, and looking reproachfully, maybe it is the dark tones and the blue colors, together with the strong reds around eyes and lips, that the eyes are in the shadows and the flowers have a dark, muted, not bright color.

                                You actually nailed that actually, the painting is titled ‘Betrayal’. I started off painting a really bright saturated version of this, a happy fairy in the forest but, she just couldn’t be happy I suppose.
