Sweet surrender - step II... Another type of deconstruction!

With this second step, I've opted for a more stylized approach, separating the hair from the face to create a certain tension...


Because I want to keep intact the "out of focus" look, I think I will rely primarily on brush marks for textural effects... and see where this will lead me. This painting could be the beginning of a sub series using soot to really convey a smoke effect that goes in line with "Smoke and mirrors", the name for the main series I'm working on.

Amber, you are right about this one. In the Chinese black ink style, less is more. I like this version better than the final one!
