THERESA

YOUST watercolour artwork with girly pinkish hues, silver highlights
and geometric figures as baptism gift for little princess girl THERESA

this is a commissioned watercolour artwork as a baptism gift for the parents of little princess girl theresa.

the assignment asked for an artwork in girly colours in regular paper format, so i went with tones in soft as well as in bright pink. in order to add some further glitter i applied silver highlights with finetect coliro pearlcolors which show a lovely, mystic shimmer when the incidence of light changes. as the capital letter T is symmetric i decided to add some geometric figures to the floral design.

fun fact: according to the oxford dictionary (11th edition revised, 2004) the letter T has an average frequency of 6.95% in english texts. it is thus the sixth most common letter in english texts.

additional info: the name theresa is most likely of greek origin, having derived from the greek words “theros” (meaning summer) or “therizo” (meaning to harvest), or from the name of the greek island of thera (the western island of santorini) and therefore might have the meaning of reaper or person from the island of thera.
