29 faces Day two

Don't look back ( wax crayon, pencil and watercolour)
 Day two of the 29 faces challenge and it is an idea I had from my post yesterday. I used the photo of my daughter at the Tate gallery. It uses her reflected image.
I used really cheap wax crayons to scribble on the shadow silhouette then washed over the top in watercolour.

    Very pretty. And an unusual technique for me to consider.

    Wax Crayon are very good colors. I often use them, too. You have used them very skillfully. The Face are very beautiful and sensitive. This drawing looks like You :-)

    A lovely drawing and the way you've done your daughter and her reflection is really cool with the dark and the light.

    So interesting with the 'shadow' in front of the girl, and what a beautiful girl. It adds a touch of the Magrittes which is so effective. Never thought of using wax crayons in that way with the watercolour. Makes me want to try it. A lovely artistic piece.
