Magenta (watercolor 9x10) SOLD


Watercolor sketch influenced by Cate Parr. Just "discovered" her work yesterday. One of the best. Magenta, scarlet lake and cobalt blue mixed up in the hair. The paper is bright white but there is a shadow on the scan. That cobalt blue with the hair color made a nice violet for the shadow.
