I am really happy with how this turned out. Again, the colors on the vase itself are not showing well. There is some contouring, and the shadows are deeper.  While working on this, I thought I may have botched the greenery. But having come back to it after a few days, it works.

I have still been working on faces….

I am also working on pattern designs as well.

Heading home tomorrow, I have been in Prescott Arizona for a few days.  So pretty here, and the weather has been cloudy and raining on and off. Perfecto!

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend in your neck of the woods!

Busy all week with decorations for a friends bridal shower. Still more to do. Sneaked in some painting. Just playing really and quick bits of time.  But I did take a while with this larger image.  I cropped it close. For some reason while painting, I kept circling her face with color. Closing in. Not sure what that was about.

My apologies, still having server issues. You can reload the page if the images are not visible, or click on the description to go to an attachment page.

Happy weekend to you!

 

 

Quick Watercolor Sketches

About a week ago I decided to start doing a daily sketch.
Something small, quick.
The purpose of these, is just to practice.

I wish I was better at portraits.
I need to practice more.
The first is only  an inch and a half square.
The second is about two and half inches tall.
