Face of Wood

More about Face of Wood

A watercolor painting depicts a stylized close-up of a woman's face, her soft, smooth complexion in shades of warm skin tone, with a hint of rose blush on her cheekbones and pink on her lips, her eyes are wide open, gazing directly forward. Her head is framed by flowing, light brown hair or a head covering that blends seamlessly into the background, which is composed of intricate, vertical wood-like textures suggesting tree bark. The wood texture is rich in brown and dark orange hues, interspersed with darker, gray-blue shadowy areas, creating a dramatic contrast with the subtly illuminated face. The woman's large, light gray eyes with prominent dark pupils and irises, along with lightly curved eyebrows, are striking against her smooth skin. A highlight shines on her forehead and down the bridge of her nose, emphasizing her delicate features. The overall style is reminiscent of Art Nouveau illustration, with a dreamlike, ethereal quality.
