I am a big fan of the new Suspiria film starring Dakota Johnson and I really wanted to try and paint a portrait of her. Portraits are one of my weaknesses as an artist so this was certainly a challenge. I first did a line drawing using a col-erase blue pencil. The paper is coldpress watercolor paper and all the paint is transparent. I only used five colors - primary cyan, permanent violet dark, dioxazine purple, alizarin crimson hue and primary yellow. I don't think I nailed the likeness, but I still learned a lot painting it.
