I found this image on Pinterest and I liked the style of the painting because it has got elements of messiness but also has a clean drawing underneath. When I was coming up with my digital draft I thought about elements such as; acoustic music, imagery of heaven and sadness. The dripping paint creates the effect that the girl is crying.
I created my own experiment by copying a portrait of a girl using pencil. I then traced the drawing lightly onto another piece of paper so that I was not painting onto the original drawing. Next, I used water colours to try and emulate the original painting from Pinterest. I tried to create the same effect by letting each layer cry before adding more colour over the top.
When I finished my experiment, I was happy that I managed to create the same elements that I wanted to portray. However, I think that it could have been improved if I had let more of the layers dry. This would have made the experiment more like the original painting.
