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.

  12. 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.
