I LOVE YOU

My latest work
An emotional self-portrait + a close-up from the painting

Painted the background above with airbrush-watercolor, then the portrait and the foreground below with self made-wax-paint, using the iron, stylus (with also a calligraphy pen-nib included), hot air-gun, and finally for the very fine layers and final details: aqwax, the water-soluble wax, with finest hair-brushes. Was a great challenge!

You can find a WIP, with explanation, under the photos:

Autumn Leaves

This was painted with a new method: I painted the background and the first layer of the leaves with airbrush-watercolor, then I made the fine details on the leaves and on the branch with the regular way of watercolor, using fine brushes. This is that I'll develop further with my next works.
