Today I woke up a bit melancholic and I really felt like drawing, maybe I didn't want to transmit pain in this portrait but a kind of nostalgia and longing, I feel that life has passed in the blink of an eye, a part of me is still stuck in the past and it's hard to get it out of there, drawing sometimes helps me to recreate a little bit those strange feelings that I usually have in days like today and that are becoming more and more frequent, that's why most of my art has similar elements almost always and I feel happy to do it this way, I liked this portrait a lot and I painted it with a lot of effort and affection.
I made my sketch and began to paint the skin, I used a little saturated colors and mixed oranges, pinks, reds and beige, in a new layer I added more colors to give better shape to the face, this combination of colors I liked a lot because it reminds me a little to the portraits painted with oil, then I mixed the colors and I wanted to leave a textured finish.
I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes and for the hair I put a dark base color, I chose a blue tone and then I started to experiment with other colors to add the highlights, it always works better for me to start with the darkest color and then add the highlights, this time I used beige, pink and brown tones for the hair, now I started to detail the face a little more adding reddened areas and I finished making a slight color adjustment where I increased the saturation just a little bit.
