This my 10th drawing in the beauty series. I am really happy that the count has come up to 10 since past two years. This is a watercolor painting of Doutsen Kroes. She's a model. More info of her can be found on
wiki .
This watercolor painting is done on A3 hand made paper. One interesting thing i learnt in this painting is the texture on the cloth. Putting salt on semi dry paint would lend a granular or sand like texture to the finish. Apart from this i also found drawing the eyes somewhat complicated. Hope I did justice to the eyes and the smoothness of the skin. The hairs were made with dry brush technique, something which I need to learn as I move along. Here I needed help of my sir.
Below is the reference pic as well.
