Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa. Have you ever noticed she doesn't have any eyebrows? Did this for the Drawn! meme. You can see it better here. This is my second gouache painting. Fun stuff.

It's cute! I've seen this no-eyebrows thing on more paintings, mostly medieval ones, made long before this one. Perhaps it was a fashion-thing and Mona Lisa is just an old-fashioned girl. :)

Nice gouache painting. I think your Mona Lisa looks much happier than the real one. Excellent work Mike.

Gouache can be expensive or cheap. It's an opaque watercolor. Been used for centuries. It was Mary Blair's medium of choice.
