My Current Main Wip Is Frustrating Me Somewhat, So I Painted This Quick, One-layer Doodle As A Distraction

My current main wip is frustrating me somewhat, so I painted this quick, one-layer doodle as a distraction and I might as well post it

„Oedipus coming upon the dead body of his mother Iocaste” After first watching the 1957 production by Tyrone Guthrie and subsequently reading a translation of the play as written by Sophocles, I felt like painting something related to this story and the scene of Oedipus seeing his mothers corpse (although not outright shown in the actual play, but relayed by a messenger) struck me as particularly affecting.

Another painting! (Am I actually starting to develop a consistent artstyle??)
I felt in the mood to create some Greek mythology related stuff again, so I painted this portrait of Selene, goddess/personification of the moon.
Both the colour scheme and the motive are somewhat inspired by Jules Louis Machards artwork depicting Selene.
I aimed for a somewhat 'soft', 'warm' look, so I avoided stark contrasts, especially in the face and kept the clothing relatively plain, as not to distract with any complicated pattern.

I'm not entirely sure about the colours, but quite like the composition. I originally wanted to create illuminated-manuscript-style illustrations on the cape, but I ran out of patience halfway through colouring, so I decided to go for a much simpler pattern. I'm also trying to implement slightly more elaborate backgrounds in my traditional illustrations instead of just letting the central character hover in a vaguely defined 'white void'.

Just a bit of messing around with colours.
(Reddish Orange and desaturated Green is not a combination I expected to work out, but it kinda did)

🌟The Magician🌟
(yes, we have apparently become pretentious enough to title our paintings)
I thought I might do something magic-related for Halloween, so here you go.
It's been several months since I picked up watercolours, due to this parts of this illustration are a bit rough, but I am low key kinda proud of the composition.
