WATERCOLOR – SECOND PORTRAIT OF AMY



In the course of working on my looser style, I have again received great advice from the many books and DVDs available to artists today. From my studies, the several exercises that preceded this painting have led me to this point in my painting methods and techniques. Each exercise moved me closer to my goal, which I believe I have achieved. This will not be a titled painting, but just a watercolor sketch.

WATERCOLOR – PORTRAIT OF AMY




This was painted from an old Polaroid of my daughter on Christmas Day. I have titled it “Christmas Snoopy.” This was an effort on my part to become looser in my painting methods and techniques. As you can see from my other paintings posted here, I paint in a fairly tight realistic manner.
