I made this painting for the 1000Drawings project, it's a one night exhibition for charity in Amsterdam, on May the 11th. There will be 1000 drawings for sale for the same low, accessible price (€10).. this is my partecipation to the event. So, I hope that someone among you will find my little watercolor and buy it!

Proceeds will be donated to support FairPen, which helps children in Uganda to run an editorial office with their peers, investigate issues, think critically, and publish handwritten, handdrawn newspapers to each other and to their local communities.

I speak from the bottom of my heart when i say:

Your technique is amazing, how from a 'simple' sketch you can bring to life such an amazing piece.
My grandma said 'She's gifted with watercolours.', i agreed. It's the first time i see this way of making use of such a difficult (at least for me) media.

I've seen this piece houndreds of times, and each time it gets my eyes watery.
Her eyes have such a depth. So.. hypnotic and emotional. Her whole facial expression makes me wonder about what we can't see, her history, and i could continue...

The feeling it's just: speechless.

Congratulations!

I'm from Argentina, so.. i apologize for any horrifying grammar mistake.

I love the way you use water colour. Water Colouring can be very messy and difficult, but you manage to get pass that.

The originality is very awesome~~ Not everyone can think of an idea like this. Your technique is great. You should always draft before actually doing the real thing.

This drawing left a great impact on me. The eyes look so.... I can't express my feelings about this.

Overall, This drawing is very beautiful and inspiring~~~

I am brought to tears every time I look at this painting.
I am speechless.
This piece is so powerful, yet at the same time serene and beautiful.

I admire the voice in your artwork so much.

Loved it! Loved It! Amazing, I loved it! OMG

It remembers me of a very friend of mine, even the name of the work. As she would always say she is "just a normal girl".Amazing expression, in the eyes, I could stare at it an entire day. The way her hair falls and mostly I love de colors at the right the way they are...just amazing. Bravo! Sorry for the messy commentary x.x

I love the technique. I gotta learn how to paint like this. haha >.<
