Ana Santos
Has it ever happened to you that you saw a piece of art that instantly began haunting you? I’ve been walking around for a few days now with this artist’s work in my head. These gorgeous watercolor portraits of young girls are painted by young Spanish artist Ana Santos, and I’m a bit obsessed. There’s something both innocent and powerful about these paintings that I just can’t get enough of.
You can follow Santos on her website and on Instagram. And if you speak Spanish, you can also take her online watercolor portrait painting course!

I always like artists who portray females who look real…not like the perfected, airbrushed instagram models that are popular in this day and age. (Or maybe female perfection has *always* been portrayed unrealistically, never to be attained by mere mortals.) These girls obviously have some artistic face painting, but otherwise they look like real people with features that are believable.

Agreed. They look a little grimy and entirely believable.

These are beautiful paintings. I love that I can see the scaffolding of the underlying drawing beneath the paint layer. It creates a really interesting dynamic. I am following her on Instagram now.

I really liked that, too! Like the shapes you start with in early figure drawing classes have stuck around and become part of the picture.

I think these are stunning. Such a talent to capture the girls so realistically and then to add the whimsy. I particularly like the ones with animals too. Thank you for bringing her to us.

Absolutely. There’s just enough boredom and insolence to be entirely believable.
