Finally something a little more time consuming. :3 I have so much fun doing those crazy hair watercolor paintings.
And I have the hardest time using blue... It's always a challenge in itself. No idea why. O_o

Enjoy. ♥

amazing, i love the contrast between the soft delicate skin and eyes against the wild messy hair color and hair do,, for the little whiter dots on the hair, did you used salt to create that effect?

Thanks!
I didn't use salt on that one. I just dropped clear water on the dried Ecoline paint (I found this to be only/best working with Ecolines) and then took the drops off again with a paper towel, which creates the lighter spots.

You can try it out with different watercolors (since I don't know that many different watercolors, there's a chance it might work with the ones you use and I just don't know them. So just try it). I don't really know how to make this effect in another way. Maybe try to drop thinned down white ink on the colored parts, wait a sec, and take the excess paint off again. It might leave lighter stains like this, but I can't say if it will look the same. Watercolor is so much trial and error. Sometimes I feel like it works differently for everyone.
