Pouty

Some days you just can't leave it alone. I had a specific idea for the curler girl, earlier, and didn't quite pull it off, which left me feeling dissatisfied, so I decided to try something different tonight. I found a series of photos like people take in the photo booth at the county fair, mugging for the camera and trying out different expressions. This girl did six of them, and this is #1, which I'm calling "pouty."

The pictures are in black and white, which leaves color choices open, and for some reason green seemed the right color for her expression.


"Pouty"—pencil, Daler Rowney inks, watercolors, Uniball pen, gel pen, on Fluid 140-lb. coldpress watercolor paper, approx. 6x9 inches.
