A day early!! I will be traveling on Motjers Day and didn’t want to forget to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day.
WIP – Barbara – #300 Arches Hot press watercolor paper
Barbara was 92 when I took her picture. She was the sweetest lady. Her family misses her a lot.
I really love all the soft colors under her chin. I think they are delicious.
Thought you might like to see her evolve.
This is after two very thin washes. And of course I used Ted Nuttalls Transparent colors.
The first wash on Lucy June. I forgot to take a pic of Barbara at this stage.
The thin washes are the key to a painting like this. You can always add more color but it’s hard to remove it.
Thanks for reading.
