Portrait of Cheng Pei-Pei by Velvet-in-August on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

7 x 10 cold-press; watercolors.

Portrait of Chinese actress and Wuxia/action star Cheng Pei-Pei.

Here I used a limited palette and triad of pigments from Schmincke Horadam Aquarell: Transparent Yellow, Quinacridone Magenta, and Phthalo Sapphire Blue. I worked mostly alla prima but felt the piece needed some glazing.
