Ink and watercolor on 250gsm Stonehenge 100% Cotton Vellum Watercolor Paper
Tonight I thought I would try painting a young Elizabeth Taylor. I created the painting as usual with pen and ink as seen in the top picture. Once that was dry I layered watercolor washes over top. It is OK but needs more practice. I don't feel that I achieved the likeness and I am unsure how to shade the area between the eyes and cheeks. I do think that layering watercolor over top of the ink does give it that retro 1940's feel to it.
