Yellow boat

Another attempt at watercolor canvas. Looks better in real life. Oddly sized to fit in a certain spot, 16 1/2 by 8 1/2.

More portrait practice

Found my lost photos, for some reason Windows "hid" them when I rotated them. Anyhow, back to portrait practice. I'm trying to get the skin tone darker. I also had a big breakthrough on this one. I keep making her nose too long, that's why I can't get the likeness right. Will try again soon.

Watercolor canvas

Long time between posts. Finished this about two weeks ago. The pictures a little blurry, I didn't use a tripod. Will have to try it again. I had a couple more to post but when I rotated them, they disappeared off my computer? I'll have to retake them.

Class finished

We had our last class Tuesday. I'm still not sure about the watercolor canvas but I do see where it could work better then paper. I have several sheets left so I will keep playing with it until I figure out if I do like it. But for now it's back to portrait practice. Here's all the watercolor canvas's I did in class and out. Still trying to figure out the camera issue, got a new to me one yesterday.

Class project

Started in class, I'm not a flower painter

Three I did at home, the first two are loose sheets, the third is mounted on board

And finally one on stretched watercolor canvas
