Description

I painted this one pretty quickly and off the cuff, but was happy with how it turned out. This is a photo from my phone, not a scan, so I hope the smaller details haven't been lost!

I always admired how Belle was brave and loyal enough to go into the beast-haunted mansion to find her father and I wish a bigger deal was made out of that. I wanted to convey a stronger, more defiant Belle than the more delicate Belle portrayed by Disney.

Gouache on watercolor paper.
