Here is a portrait in watercolour I used as a demo yesterday. A face full of character but has a still presence. The skin has seen lots of sunshine.
This project for the Tuesday group is an exercise for freehand drawing and carefree application of pools of colour. I like the watercolours of Charles Reid, seen in many an artists magazine, so I had him in mind on this one. Lots of random splashes, a few drips and trails and a mix of layers and wet in wet colour mixing.
I took an hour on this and I would usually take it a bit further but I am going to practice what I preach and leave well alone now.

Ooooo … you’ve drifted over to the dark side David! ha ha … watercolour fab for splatters! Like it!
Ha ha.. just trying it out . Back to oils again and “real painting” !
Nice work!
Thank you.
looks great! looking forward to Fridays Demo 🙂
Thanks Michelle, bring a piece and a book!
I love the exuberant energy this carries! It looks so relaxed and playful and as though it almost ‘painted itself’–which, as I well know, contrarily takes immense skill and control and experience, almost to a perverse degree, to accomplish. Well done.
Thank you Kathryn, very kind. Although, I think you just called me perverse!
