This was my own composition as part of a journal page entitled Summer. I used the techniques learnt in Christina's tutorial but exaggerated the eyes and made the face longer and more chiselled.
I think the face is a little more contoured? I  wanted to create a goddess 'feel' in celebration of the Solstice and decided to give her a wreath of ferns, clover leaves and tiny daisies. I painted in a background halo shaped wash in 3 different greens and then over- stamped with leaf motifs. The daisies were painted in with white acrylic.
Again I used Neocolour watercolour crayons for the skin and facial features. The hair was coloured with Stabilo carbothello pastels and highlighted with Luminarte H20s. I was especially pleased with the violet wash I used under the skin tones and around the eyes and through the hair. An unusual choice but it worked giving her an ethereal glow.
What would I improve? The left eye is slightly larger! I loved doing this and am so inspired to practice further......
