Original artwork description:

A bold portrait of celebrated philanthropist Meryl Streep, to evoke a sense of calm and relaxation.

I utilized a rich violet palette with copious amounts of glaze, creating a subtle texture of vertical movement, reminiscent of flowing springs. The smoothness of its surface allowed for fine and precise linework, generating an organic feel to the flow of each strand of hair.

This piece is at its most powerful at the end of your day. Take a moment to lose yourself in the serenity of this portrait whenever you find yourself overburdened with thoughts. The vibrancy of its royal purple should sooth your senses and the inspire gentle thoughts and pleasant memories.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, watercolor pencil, colored graphite, acrylic marker, various flow mediums, gloss fixatives, transparent glaze
