watercolor_(medium), paper_texture. A full-body eye-level shot captures a young woman with a fresh, relaxed posture: chin high, elbows out. Her long black hair falls straight around large eyes, and she wears round metal-rimmed glasses. She is dressed in a tight black short-sleeve crop top exposing midriff, a black pinstripe pleated mini skirt with a black leather belt and silver buckle, black pantyhose, and black strappy high-heeled sandals. Her hips are thrust to the left in contrapposto with one knee bent, both feet apart, and her large, slender hands rest behind her head. Gentle transparent washes and layered translucent stains are applied to the plain background, softening edges and allowing light reflections of the paper grain to interact with the forms.
