This watercolor shows a woman’s face half-hidden in shadow, her bright eyes staring right at you.
This watercolor shows a woman’s face half-hidden in shadow, her bright eyes staring right at you. Soft blues and warm ochres blend where light touches her skin. The background is blurry, like she’s stepping out of a dream.
Michou often used watercolor glazing here. Thin layers of color let light filter through, giving the face a soft glow. It’s not crisp or detailed, just mood and memory.
