My first piece done solely with watercolour paint! This will be the cover for a magazine in a few months. They asked me to work as abstract as I could, and with the themes of 'looking back' and 'saying goodbye'. The process of applying drops of water to the hair section was extremely tedious, but I found that holding a hair-blower over it gave much better control over the distribution of the color. More of this soon!

Music: Telegraph Ave / Sober (Cover) by Daniela Andrade
Material:Van Gogh watercolors, Photoshop CS5.5

Hope you enjoy!

How did you achieve the white lines, with the help of masking fluid or grooves in the watercolour paper?

I used a white gel pen after the paint had dried. Works like magic!
