Girl with Two Birds


A very Mucha/Art Nouveau inspired design. Watercolor with gouache(now in multiple colors)outlines. This piece was also somewhat of an experiment for me as instead of lightboxing my sketch onto the watercolor paper(a tedious process) I scanned the lines and printed them, very lightly on the paper. It seemed to work pretty well, though the ink did run a bit in places where I put the watercolor on really wet. But that was only obvious on really light parts like the skin tone and once I put the outlines on I couldn't tell at all. I think the process worked pretty well for this piece. I am curious to see how it would work on heavier paper or a more complicated image.
