Braided

Here one I completed for an upcoming show.This particular beauty took me almost 11 hour to finish.If you were woundering why it took me so long it is because I used 8 different colors for the skin tone alone. I apply the paint in water color washes.Applying paint this way makes the color extra vibrant. Click on the image to get a super sized view and count the colors.
