Portrait


This is from our last watercolor class.  I learned that I need to be bolder with the shadows.  I also learned that fingers are hard. Hahahaha.

Watercolor is SO difficult for me! Cannot erase. You so smart you do prework at home. Next week, doggies. You painting sweet Kona, yes?

Wow, beautiful! I wish I had some of your talent. Even my stick people are ugly! ~e

LOL, Chet.

Aunty, so hard yah . . . the cannot erase part. Not sure if I'm gonna do Kona. It might end up being a brown blob with eyes. Thinking I might do a bird . . . or a frog . . . or . . .

Hahahaha! E, I swear if you practice, you can!

I like it!

Wow, I see how the bolder shading made this painting more intense! Nice !!

jalna said...

Thanks Les!

Susan, teacher wanted it even bolder. I tried and tried, but was too scared. I'm trying to practice now at home. My eyes (and brain too maybe) need to accept the stark contrast.

I like this, face is good, colors are good. Never mind no mo fingers, that's artistic interpretation.
