Day 2533: Sometime less is more. (more or less)

smile :  watercolor postcard

This postcard falls in the less category.

I did the umber wash first, then the ink drawing.

The drawing didn't fit the background, but I liked it.

A dab of orange for cheeks and shadow ... done.

I do have a thing about cheeks. 

Maybe because the nuns said rouge was evil.

Want music?
