- Doubt- ART EXPLOSION 84: EXPRESS YOURSELF

One of the first things I saw when entered Hive was this great competition made by @juliakponsford. Her Art Explosion was one of my favorite contests I joined many times.
And when seeing the subject of this one, my first thought was, YES! This is great for the piece I am working on.

And it said express yourself..
One of the emotions I am in these days, among many others..is doubt.
Doubt about life, future, how things will change, will they change..

So, this one was made influenced with those thoughts.

I managed to make few photos of the process. Unfortunately, I already started with paint when I saw contest. But still I hope you will be able to see process.

I think you are able to see pencil drawing that is under color. For this kind of subject, like portrait is, drawing is essential.
Work is made on canvas board. Watercolor is technique made usually on paper. But lately I managed to prepare surface of canvas for watercolor paints. And now I can say it's my thing. Love how watercolor works on this kind of surface.

some closer view

Like on paper, you need to wait for color to dry if you have puddles of water. And since I work with lot of water, this is taking time. But result is great.

Here is final look. Hope you will like it.
And again, thanks @juliakponsford for making effort and continuing with great contests and ideas.

See you soon!
Thanks!
