Ginny Wang, The Mango Queen, Finished portrait
As noted earlier I let this sit for over a week to decide if I wanted to make any changes.
Subsequently I've increased the intensity of some of the shadows, warmed the colors a bit and blended the hues with a wet brush, -but no major changes. I can't say I'm fully satisfied with this work, Ginny is a beautiful young lady and this image doesn't really do her justice, -but I am not too unhappy with it either.
Ginny is an accomplished artist as well as a partner in the Mango Cafe in Yunlin County ,Taiwan.
Her work can be viewed here on flickr at her 'Mango Queen' site.
She graciously gave me permission to paint this portrait, i hope she doesn't regret that decision!
Watercolor (Yarka) and watercolor pencil (Kimberly) on 9 by 12 inch (23 by 31 cm) 120 pound cold pressed paper.
