Natalie Portman (Goauche Wash)

Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn

This is from an in-class demonstration I did on March 14th for my Illustration students at the Art Institute of Las Vegas.

It is Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn. It took about two and a half hours to get to this point. The media consists of nu-pastels on Arches watercolor paper with a gouache underpainting.

Here is what the sepia underpainting looked like before the pastels went on top.
