Nicely done watercolor.
I love the composition, color and brushwork.
Her quite alluring smile is equally well done.
The one issue is the shoulder area and arm. Something is a little rigid and off in this area.
I think the shoulder needs more shading to define the direction of the arm.
Right now it looks like her arm is somewhat detached or jammed at a weird angle in her side.
It is well done. Keep working at it!
I see "La citta bella della Roma" in your future!

Really loving the colors of the sunrise against the dark clothing. Great facial features and body as usual. There is something going on the with shoulder definition that I wish was more defined. Maybe adding some cleavage? Or less back? Overall wonderful in watercolor. I have been playing with them as well and enjoying finding out what all these new types will do.

Lovely watercolor, James! I love the palette of colors you placed behind your subject that is full of light, fire and color. Great textures in the lower frame but my eye is drawn to the shadowing and light to dark contrasting right in front of her body. Very atmospheric and edgy. Great featuring as always. Your watercolors on her clothing almost takes on the look and texture of oils.

Good! But you can improve it more.................
Work on giving shades and highlights. Other things are pretty good. Giving four stars. :-)

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental


Hi jesuel

This is a fine and sultry painting of a beautiful lady reclining. I had to look closely at the pose though because it is not immediately evident that her left shoulder is pointing at the viewer which explains why her arm hangs a bit further to the right. Perharps darkening the shadow on the shoulder might help or it's more likely that I am going blind! :) Thanks for sharing this R

A lovely, seductive but classy piece of this attractive young lady in black, lying on a black setting with a brilliantly contrasting array of yellow, purple, orange and brown in the background. The shades of black used are well distinguished and well well placed, giving an excellent and accurate human form and proportion to her - he facial features brilliantly and accurately drawn also, giving her personality, and as always amazing work on the eyes - beautiful green and penetrating as they stare right at you. Wonderful work, well done :)

Hey if you get tired of sunrise send her my way! Evil grin..lol. the facial expression is great. The body form and language is hot. The shading is excellent. The depth is excellent. The blend of color is awesome. The creation is balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. Very creative and awesome work overall (clapping)

She reminds me of Anna Kornikova! ( One of my favorites! )
It's a pleasantly colorful watercolor piece and it's certainly a lot of fun to view!
