Lady Face with Headdress: A Color Realism Portrait

This piece is a stunning example of color realism from artist Noelin Wheeler. It features a woman's portrait adorned with an elaborate, culturally-inspired headdress. The focus is on her lifelike expression and the intricate details surrounding her.

The headdress is a complex arrangement of feathers, beads, and patterned elements. It frames her face, which is rendered with soft, realistic skin tones and striking green eyeshadow. This custom tattoo design showcases a powerful blend of portraiture and ornate decoration.

Noelin Wheeler visits us at Montana Tattoo Company in Missoula. This piece demonstrates his skill in creating detailed, fine art tattoos that feel both classic and fresh. This is the kind of custom, one-of-a-kind work we specialize in.

The Work: Color Realism Technique

This is a pure color realism tattoo. The challenge lies in achieving depth and dimension without relying on heavy black outlines. Noelin builds the form entirely through layers of color and subtle value shifts.

Skin tones require a delicate hand to look natural, not muddy or overworked. The vibrant colors in the headdress, like the reds and greens, must be saturated enough to pop but still integrate into the overall softness of the portrait. It's a balance of bold color and subtle blending.
