This portrait is the visual embodiment of a quote by Marcel Proust that I fell in love with for its eloquent details: “Her blue, almond-shaped eyes - now even more elongated - had altered in appearance; they were indeed of the same colour, but seemed to have passed into a liquid state. So much so that, when she closed them, it was as though a pair of curtains had been drawn to shut out a view of the sea.” ― Marcel Proust.
Watercolour pencils, black markers and black gel pens were used on the A4 paper to create the portrait. |
