Reflections

This Is a watercolor/gauche and ink painting I did for my senior art show of a teardrop rippling a pool reflecting a saddened persons face. I really enjoy combining water mediums with pen and ink for the added texture and comic art quality it can bring out of a normally painterly effect from the paint alone. I used no reference photos and did no sketching when working on this piece. I began panting the forms only by blocking in color, and shapes, and then went back with the ink to define some outlines as wells as the ripples to offset the softness of the face.
