"Woman Reclining", 2013, Watercolor and egg tempra, on watercolor paper, 14" x 20", ©Julie Castillo 2020
The figure is always enlightening and inspiring.  This model  created a mood that helped to carry the work to a finish.  Working in watercolors, to quickly capture the image, adding egg tempra gives the image depth and a classical feel. The fabric draping defines shape and renders interest to the figure.  Of course, the lighting describes the figure completely. I hope you enjoy this painting.
