373, 374

Both are decently nice paintings. It's finals season. So, yucky greens and the bright red/orange of anxiety.
#373 is a nice, sad, weird. But, more than the green hair and line work, the soft washes of the almost-shaded edges. The one edge, the line created by the wash on the right side of the nose, is just the best thing in the world right now.
#374 has the blue strokes in the hair. I'm still figuring how to get the paint to be darkest and boldest. Watercolor takes some getting used to.
At least, it's very obvious that this is my style. I'm trying to be Schiele, but I'm coming through.
Also, I really wish I'd chosen better paper. Each of these takes up a full page of Sketch paper, 60lbs, but textured. Otherwise, it crumples up. Not crumble. That's about cake.
