Lzzy Hale - water colour
Lzzy Hale
Lzzy Hale - I liked the sepia version of this so I photographed it before I added any other colours. It's based on an image from a couple of years ago when she had black hair with purple streaks in it. I left the hair more brown/burnt sienna as I didn't want to make it too dark...

I'm not that great at foliage, the yellow isn't that bright in real life...
I felt it was a little light around the eyes, so I darkened it a bit..

Lzzy Hale - a water colour, Halestorm
Lzzy Hale -Halestorm. A water colour - I find that for me,women are more difficult to paint in water colour compared to men. To convey subtlety and delicacy of the feminine as opposed to ruggedness and strength of masculinity requires more thought and less bold colour strokes. Lzzy is something of an Enigma, an attractive and sexy woman whose visage hides the volcanic eruption that is her voice. Power, range and emotion are all conveyed in the live performance, but also the warmth and emotive breadth. All hail the Hale!!
