The other night I had a dream where I looked into a mirror and I saw this.

...*sigh.*

Wow. I wish i had the time, willpower and technical know-how to draw the stuff i see in my dreams! Do you know what immediately strikes me about this picture? The fact that you still have red eyelashes and eyebrows. :giggle: Although I can tell why you'd sigh about the snow-white hair. There's something very appealing about silver hair. When you're young anyway. ;) Love the frosted blue tone throughout the painting, and the highlights on the hair are awesome. Was this watercolour? Only I've never seen watercolour white looking so...white. I usually have to use gouache to get it that bright.

Thank you, Ludi! Yeah, it's watercolour, and I used gouache for the hair.
Well usually I wouldn't dare draw from a dream. However this seemed too simple- just draw my face and give myself white hair. ;)

Ahhh, the gouache makes sense, I thought so. Yeah, I suppose that was a simple dream to draw from. Wish mine were that simple. The symbolism intrigues me though. I've never had a dream where I see myself in the mirror. Actually, scratch that, I have. But it wasn't as nice as yours... ;p

This is so pretty, Nell. That sounds like it was a very nice dream indeed.

i always think people look awesome with grey or white hair if they're face is still young looking (and old-looking too, but i like the incongruity). i'm actually looking forward to having white hair (and it will be soon!). lovely delicate colours: white is hard to make believable.

There is a tendency in my family to get white hair instead of grey...so I'm hoping my hair will be white. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
