Hello dear Steemians,
Today after about 5 day of my work on this watercolor portrait I am ready to show you the result, once again I had to wash out the color in order to make it lighter. It is very difficult to find a golden middle of appropriate intensity of color, that is why if you decide to do and also like me sometimes overdo with paint then try to use heavy watercolor paper that can stand large amount of water. The heaviest watercolor paper I used was 300g/cm3 but I heard about 600 g/cm3 so I will try to buy that type next time.
Last few days are too busy with my work, some administrative work and also my annual appraisal I have to prepare my paperwork. As always there are so many things I must collect and to submit, this month is my deadline, therefore I hope you will understand if I will not post so regular.
The project “Aqua Possible" is trying to deliver clean water to Venezuelans. You from your side can upvote and re-steem if you like the project. If you wish you can help with donation.
I hope you enjoyed my post and thank you for viewing :-)
WOOOW, beautiful
Thank you @xpilar for such compliment, that was a difficult one due to this pose adn that the photo was so dark, I am glad that I finished it :)

Thank you very much @qurator for your support and appreciation :)
Looks great!
Thank you Ian, spent few days, as always fighting with water and the colors :)
Great painting. I recognised the model from your painting. Christy Turlington used to be my favourite model.
