Head Study #74

Hello.  Tonight I present to you a watercolor from the British TV show "Allo Allo".  It's been so long I can't remember the character's name.  Anyways, I was playing around and thought I would try to paint with increasing value (darkness) with each color, yellow, orange, warm red, cool red, and finally purple.  First painting loosely at first and sharper with each change of color.  14.5 x 15" Arches

Landscape #5

Tonight I present a monthly watercolor challenge from the website Wet Canvass, where once a month they select an image at random and followers make an attempt to paint it.  It's from the UK, Bolton Castle.  (7.5 x 11.5" Arches)

Landscape #4

 More Cornwall, Porthwidden.  (7.5 x 11.5")






Head Study #73

This evening I present a strange copy of John Singer Sargent portrait of Mrs George Swinton (1897).  Previous paintings I started out in purple (the darkest color).  On this, I started out in yellow (the lightest color) and progressed to darker and darker colors just to see what it might look like.  (12 x 18")
