“Drip”

2018

This colored pencil piece, Drip, is based on my original photo. I took this photo as someone poured watered-down paint over my model. It shows great fluidity as the paint moved down the person's face and onto her neck. The color scheme is full of pink to symbolize femininity. The pink coloration floods her face and her eyes clouding her vision. Her background is also very pink as her feminine expectations flood around her. The background was carefully blended to get one shade.
