Grand Pre Beauty

This portrait is large, about  13 by 19 inches  and reflects the deep shadows at the end of the day. This gives a chance for her beautiful features to be in the spotlight.

Portrait in Progress Next steps

So here is the next step in the portrait.  I have developed the hat colors taking care that the fur is full of many colors. The next step will be to fully develop the skin color including the deep shadows.  Let's hope we can get it right I have now finished this portrait and it is SOLD   I do accept commissions so let me know if you are interested in having a portrait done.

Portrait in Progress

Some of you would like to see a painting in progress.  I am working on a painting of a beautiful two year old boy.  I have begun by  lightly  and carefully drawing  his face on watercolor paper.  Next I begin by  blocking in the skin color with the lightest of shades of skin.  Next the eyes, the face is  fully developed. Now you will see the hat shaded in with the lightest of values.  Next the coat color is added

 and this where I am at this morning.  Check out the final portrait where the fur hat is developed in all the rich fur colors. A watercolor painting must preserve the lightest of colors so I work from light to dark.  Let me know if your are interested in this process. The painting is 18 by 24 inches in size.
