Wednesdays Portrait

This portrait is first drawn with a HB mechanical pencil on 200lb Bockingford watercolor paper. I applied the watercolor, then added more pencil detail. I find it helpful to try different approaches during our portrait time. Enjoy!

Tuesday Evening • Class Demo

This painting was started wet on wet, in order to create soft edges and blended colors. After it began to dry, the background was painted in as a darker negative shape behind the golden lit bushes. The palette was very simple, burnt sienna, french ultramarine blue and quinacridone gold.
