Continuing on the figurative paintings, which gives me a welcome break from the landscapes, I tried once again with the Indian actor Vidya Balan, (we were watching one of her movies recently which got her the best actress award). It is so strange that you plan on so many things and suddenly you end up doing the totally unexpected! You never know your own mind! Here it is:
Used as reference her photo published in FHM magazine as I did for my previous painting of her a while ago. Used Jerwitz acquarelle paper 425gms (manufactured in Hamburg!) an excellent support for portraits. Lifting is wonderful with this paper, but not good for masking fluid which damages the paper while removing.

Thanks for viewing and happy weekend!
