Watercolor can look just like oils or acrylics--or not!  For this portrait, I started with wet paper and dropped in a little of each primary color.  For the face, I mostly just enhanced or lifted the colors that were already there.  A fun way to paint a portrait!

Portrait of a lovely bride!

Supremely excellent animal: Roxie-dog!

A labor of love--whole painting and a detail.

Sketching practice: gesture drawing, blind contour, from memory, and final sketch.

Had a bit of fun with the hair on this one. 

Getting back into painting humans again!

My first portrait commission since coming back to painting this past year.  Lovely Zoe!

Portrait of the acorn squash as a young vegetable.  Fun to paint!
