Create a stunning, ethereal portrait of a woman's face, surrounded by a halo of soft, glowing light. The image should be rendered in a mix of digital painting and traditional media, with bold, expressive brushstrokes and textures reminiscent of watercolor. The color palette should be muted, with shades of blue, purple, and grey dominating the scene, punctuated by flashes of bright, vibrant color. The woman's face should be the central focus, with a subtle, enigmatic smile and piercing green eyes that seem to gaze into the soul. Her skin should be smooth and luminous, with a subtle, iridescent sheen that hints at a sense of otherworldliness. The background should be a dark, gradient-like void, punctuated by flashes of light and color that seem to emanate from the woman's face. In terms of camera settings, aim for a high-contrast, high-dynamic-range image, with a small aperture (around f/11) to ensure that every detail is sharp and in focus. For lighting, use a combination of dramatic, high-contrast studio lighting and subtle, ambient natural light to create a sense of depth and dimensionality. In Photoshop, apply a range of creative effects to enhance the image's ethereal, dreamlike quality. Use a combination of layer blending modes and opacity adjustments to create a sense of depth and dimensionality, and experiment with glow and luminescence effects to add an extra layer of realism to the image.
