Her eyes are closed, and her expression is completely at rest. Colour moves across her skin like thoughts across a quiet mind: warm orange light, cool blue shadow and flushes of rose and violet, painted loosely. The last things I added were the highlights on her lips, brows and lashes, and that was when she really came to life.
