David Downton, Illustrator, London

Description

This fashion portrait illustration by London-based illustrator David Downton depicts a woman's face and shoulders executed in a minimalist yet expressive ink and watercolour style. Fluid black ink outlines the shape of a wide-brimmed hat, facial features, and a detailed multi-strand pearl necklace. Washes of grey watercolour provide subtle shading across the face, while a vibrant pop of red defines the lips. The minimalist composition is set against a clean, off-white paper background with a few delicate ink splashes in the lower left corner.
