Dominant colour
Creation is a 1890 watercolor by Simeon Solomon, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman’s face in profile, her hair pulled back. The background is blurry, with faint shapes that look like trees or branches. Light hits her cheek and forehead, leaving the rest in shadow. The artist used soft watercolors, blending colors to make smooth transitions. The face stands out against the washed-out background, almost like a sketch. Next, look up Solomon, Simeon to see more of his work.
A watercolour depicts a head in right profile, rendered with a visionary expression.
