Nancy Callahan

This is one of my older projects, started sometime last summer when I was bored. I don't paint often, but every now and again I have to remind myself just why that is, I guess.

Anyway, I finally finished it! Nancy Callahan from Sin City (which I haven't actually seen), played by Jessica Alba. I don't know much about the character, but I liked the reference. Never mixed pen and paint before, but I think the stark contrast with the black works. I hope you like it, anyway!

Update: Replaced the photo version with a bigger scanned version, which is much clearer and true to the colours of the original.

Media: Watercolours, black gel pen, white acrylic paint, white wax paint, white cold pressed watercolour paper ( 200g/m² ). Frame: blue sequins and glass drops, and then black cardboard.
Time: Aaaages. About 20 hours.
Dimensions: 25.5 x 17 cm.
