The richness of this deep, reddish purple color is really pleasant to play with. We also have a rough shape for the mouth now.

I've been saving these brushes that I bought in Florence many years ago. Somehow, they seemed too precious to use, waiting for a painting worthy of them...
Yesterday I finally realized how silly that is. Anyway, welcome to a new WIP 🧵!

Also, combining black garments and huge, golden jewellery is my favorite.
Not sure if it's the Armenian genes or my undying love for crows that bring me back to this combo, but big, shiny metal thing atop layers of black = ✨

I'll be adding to the 🧵 about this artwork as I find more bits from its creation.
Here's how it started, the very first sketches.
My artworks usually begin with an image and feeling first. The concrete concept materializes later. 3/?

An artwork from my Amaryllis series, focusing on the eternal cycle of birth and death in nature, in art, in all aspects of life.
The creative process is very similar to carrying new life in one's body, and it can also alter us physically and spiritually in fundamental ways.
