This is powerful painting!
After an intense week of watercolor study with Charlie Reed, most of us needed therapy. I understand and share your sentiments.
Your respect for this medium is evident. Splashing/losing the hair on the cool side might add some spontaneity. Mr. Reed said that what ultimately sells his paintings is the "amusement factor." In addition to good draftsmanship, composition and planning, he always let the paint surprise us with a dribble, splatter, or run somewhere within the form, along edges, and into the background. People are fascinated by what the paint can do.
If I may comment further, her left eye seems slightly turned away. The line down the bridge of her nose is sharp for some distance.
Your colors are divine!
My watercolors come with me when I travel. Otherwise, I'm an oil girl.
Thank you for posting this!
Respectfully,
Jeanine
