Persephone

9 x 12 inches
300 gsm Arches hot press paper.
Watercolor and gouache (Holbein and Daniel Smith)

This was a commission. The commissioner wanted Persephone in a snow field with a pomegranatte.

At first I tought it was going to be easy but after I started to do the sketch I struggled with it.

Because this was something paid for someone that admires me I wanted this to look the best like my previous watercolors and it ended up being the one with nicer values. It feels it's like those old paintings. I want my newest works to look like this. I'm really proud of this one.
