Superb. The watercolour and coloured pencil have merged seamlessly. The colours in the hair are beautiful.

Love the mood and how the eyes hold your attention I certainly would take you seriously.

Absolutely amazing. I know what you mean by being a purist but this has worked so very well I think you should try more.

Really like your combination of media Marilyn, a very expressive face. Love the hair too.

Fabulous portrait and amazing skill, Marilyn, and very attractive eyes. The two mediums work well together. Sei insuperabile, Marilyn!
