One of a barrage of quick freehand ink and watercolor sketches I did this weekend, pushing myself to experiment more with color and wet-in-wet painting. For this one, I was inspired by an Edvard Munch color scheme, specifically the idea of a relatively high-saturation blue against neutrals.--

Beautiful to see the pigments interacting in this, and showing up the texture of the paper, especially in her hair! And I very much like the expression on her strong and solemn face.

Thank you for another lovely comment - I'm trying to get better at planning wet-in-wet work. And I love the description of "strong and solemn."

Thank you! Would have liked for it to be an icy cyan, but I didn't have quite the right thing on hand...

Thank you so much! A sense of movement is important to me - it's been an interesting challenge trying to figure out how to preserve that in more finished works, too.
