Watercolour on paper

Signed on the back.

This artwork was created on cotton rag paper and painted from life during a six-hour sitting. Painting from life is a significant source of inspiration in my art practice.

For this specific work on paper, I used a soft pink colour palette with grey washes and Sumi ink. I applied watercolour glazing techniques with various hues and tints, combined with a mixture of brushwork and loose gestural effects. I left some areas of the paper white to emphasize a quick, spontaneous response while painting from life within a limited time frame.

I painted this work entirely over one sitting. (6hours)
