Multi-media Female Portrait

The title of these pieces is Mixed Media Female Portraits. I first sketched with graphite, then filled in and found color and space with crayons. I used watercolor around the face and once it was dried, I used colored pencil to show detail and finer shading. I wanted to use bright colors to highlight, and deep purples and blues to show shadow. I used only color, no black. The depth of color in the face is contrasted with the wispy pastel watercolor around it.
