Eye study made with watercolor and pen on 250g cold-pressed paper, original is small ( 15 x 21 cm / 5.9 x 8.3 ") and was gifted to my friend before it was featured as a DD (:

Credits: Huge part of my watercolor practice and technique learning lies within very helpful videos of =agnes-cecile on YouTube, I am very grateful that there are artists like her who teach people all around the world this way :heart:

A Daily Deviation! Big thanks to =Natalia-Luz, ~ruby604 and =lucid-light for suggesting and to ^SamuelRaffa for featuring :heart: and of course for all the :+fav:, comments, appreciation.

I love the life and the intensity of the eyes bring especially with the light glints on the irises. The detailing on the eye is just amazing using different shades to have a realistic effect into it. This is very well done, indeed.

I love how you keep it realistic but abstract as well with the blending of the watercolours on this piece to function as subtle shadings and this really brings the realistic eyes out of the paper, with its naturalistic look as well as the natural shading around the eyes.

As I look into the eyes, I feel like I have delved into that person's world and her look suggests that she has either an intimate story or a secret to tell which is impacted by the glints of her eyes.

This is very well done, indeed. :)

You have done a brilliant piece of work here , I always think if you get the eyes right , the rest falls into place , thats my theory, Its still work in progress for me. But you learn something new with every painting.

Big truth in what you just said, it's why I always start with eyes - if I mess it up, I rather start over on new paper.

The same here , if I'm doing what I call a big painting withafigure in it . I always do the face first. If it fails I havn't wasted a lot of time.It's not quite the same , if you paint the dogs eyes well, you can relax over the rest of the picture
