Lovely
Good evening.
Although flowers aren't my strong suit, I wanted to try a portrait with flowers. However, it was too difficult for me to recreate the entire idea I had in mind, and I ended up drawing fewer flowers than I expected. I still liked how it turned out. I tried using desaturated tones to create a nostalgic atmosphere and also adding a bit more nature by using small leaves around the edges. I also wanted to give it a rustic touch by adding some brushstrokes in different areas to imitate that oil painting style a bit. I hope you like it.
Proceso/Process
I created my sketch and began painting the skin using beige and desaturated brown tones. On a new layer, I added more colors to give the face a better shape and also added reddish tones. Then I began blending the skin colors, creating a slightly softer result but still maintaining some texture. I worked on the hand on a separate layer, gradually adding details until the hand was formed correctly.
When I still didn't know what to do with the background, I put a solid color of a desaturated light brown, at first I painted the hair a light brown, but I felt that it didn't highlight her features the way I wanted, so I changed it to a slightly darker color. Then I started thinking about the background and experimenting with various colors until it occurred to me to draw textures like simulating a wall full of plants. Then I painted the leaves around the shoulders and the roses, at first I painted the roses with very vivid tones but it didn't look good with the entire color palette I was working with so I lowered the saturation a bit, as always I added lights in certain areas of the face that I wanted to highlight and as final details I made a slight color adjustment and added a blur in the corners of the drawing.
