"The Blind Egyptian" was painted on a 1/4 sheet of Arches hot-pressed w/c paper. It is a monochromatic study painted for the February Watercolor Workshop project which was to do a painting in monotone or sepia. I decided to do my painting in shades of blue-violet. The source photograph was found in the Wet Canvas reference library of photos.

Beautiful portrait!
Again, I have to say how well-done this portrait is, and how evocative it is to me. You are just so skilled in catching the details that make a painting that way.
Beautiful work. I gave your blog an award. You can see it at my blog http://vickigreene.blogspot.com/

Beautiful piece. The fact that it is monochromatic adds to the character of the painting.
