MIRRORS ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH.

HI GUYS!

MIRRORS ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH.

This will be my first post here which am glad to be sharing my thoughts and creative process.

mirror, mirror on the wall,
moment of reflection
mirrors are like shadows, they follow you each time you stare,
mirror represent life, they show you your reality.
mirrors always tell the truth, they tell no lies of who we are.
some call it arrogance, mirror shows you confidence.

what else do you know about mirrors?

CREATIVE PROCESS:

the piece was created with watercolour paint on watercolour acid free paper, the first step was acrylic wash using different colours.

then i proceed to the sketch with coloured marker bringing out the forms and shapes.

then i proceed to the painting, starting with watercolour wash on it face, hand and the hair, being mindful of my tonal values.

tonal values such as the light and dark and the middle tones to make the piece more realistic and interesting. then i added another colour to the hair (purple, and blue) which was my first layer.
after outlining, i started adding the colour (blue) and being mindful of where my lighter colour would be without needing to use white but being natural.

then, here comes the final stage and i hope you find it helpful.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
