Vanished
Today I wanted to paint something quite rustic, without much detail, but still maintaining a touch of realism in the face, I love to paint with many brush strokes that allow me to feel free without so much perfection, today is one of those days when I felt a little nostalgic and so I decided to let myself go a little and express myself to feel better, although the choice of colors at first may not have been the best, then I adapted the drawing more to my taste, it was something quite fast and simple compared to other works but it helped me a lot to distract me and free myself.
I'm still getting used to paint white/blonde hair is not easy and especially with the technique I wanted to apply today, I did my best and I know it doesn't look perfect but I really liked it, I hope you have a nice evening.
I made a simple sketch, this time I didn't want to draw torso or shoulders, just a face, then I applied the colors I chose in all the skin although I felt a little uncomfortable with this color palette, but I had something in mind that in the end didn't work and I had to change everything later, in short, I started to deposit the colors this time some very pale tones and in the neck some darker and saturated browns, then I added another layer to place more colors and finish forming the face, I started to mix all these colors to leave a softer skin but still with some texture.
Now I painted the hair with light gray, then I started to put white creating the highlights and shadows of the hair, as I mentioned I wanted a rustic finish, with many lines without care, then I took a blending brush to start adding this effects, I just gave some random strokes but at the same time looking to give shape to all the hair, the idea I had for this portrait was to put a lilac background and some flowers, but honestly I tried it and I didn't like how it looked, I think it had to do with the color I had chosen to give to this portrait, I don't know, I feel it didn't look good so I opted for a dark background without flowers, then I added some highlights on the face and finally I went to the editing part, where I started to play a little with the color adjustments, changing the whole tonality of the drawing, looking for more cold colors that at the same time looked less pale, I liked it much more this way and I think I will never use such a pale color palette in my life hahaha .
