I love cutout too, I use it a whole lot, it gives a very seventies feel to pictures. I like what you did with the bathing beauty, she looks dreamy. I'm working on the wall today, so you'll enjoy the rest as well.
You stretch me, Neda. I had to lookup chiaroscuro and found a name for a look I love:
Main Entry: chiar·oscu·ro
1 : pictorial representation in terms of light and shade without regard to color 2 a : the arrangement or treatment of light and dark parts in a pictorial work of art b : the interplay or contrast of dissimilar qualities (as of mood or character) 3 : a 16th century woodcut technique involving the use of several blocks to print different tones of the same color; also : a print made by this technique 4 : the interplay of light and shadow on or as if on a surface 5 : the quality of being veiled or partly in shadow
I like the look of broad blocks of color and would like to achieve that effect.
I like this one a lot. Elegant simplicity is your specialty. And like you, I had never heard of chiaroscuro and am glad to know it. (I must also learn how to pronounce it).
This effect reminds me also a bit of screen printing, don't you think?

Looks like watercolors..very appropriate. Love the way you played with the chiaroscuro effect: her white hair glows.

I love that, she looks as if she is all sandy and about to rinse off.
Brilliant effects - makes it look very meaty.
