Gouache on Watercolor Paper
The Monalisa. La Giaconda is one of the most loved paintings of the world. This is my attempt at recreating this beautiful classical art painting through a Master Study of Leonardo Da Vinci’s work. It was not an easy feat in any way, the whole challenge took me three whole days , a lot of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY and a lot of tears.
I used Gouache because I could not use oil in this and I thought it would be interesting to see how far I can go with the MIYA HIMI Gouache set that I have. It worked! And if I had more patience I could have done a lot more with this painting
I guess the biggest takeaway from this is that I need to focus on details. I need to be more patient with my art and I really need to study and practice. It is the key to improvement.
I am very proud of myself for doing this and although it is far from perfect, I really like the result. Its not bad. But it could be better.
The below video is a testament to my adventures into the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
