Julia Sawahla (2)
Julia Sawahla again. I'm really inspired by her colouring as orange, purple and green is perhaps my favourite colour combination. The oranges and golds in her hair and skin look wonderful with green and purple, so I added these to the clothes and background. The exact shade of her eyes is quite hard to match but I used a touch of green and grey. I used many of the same colours as in my last portrait except for the Carmine red - I added Venetian Red and Magenta for her lip colour instead - and used Luminance black instead of Polychromos as it seems to give a better saturation.

I used the Jakar battery powered eraser to pick out highlights in her hair. Pictured here

What I appreciate most in this work and some of yours that I've seen is how it transmits your fine draughtmanship.
The values and highlights are well worked out.
Best regards,
José
