I have worked on my instinct this time, using dry brush more than wet here.This portrait took me about five hours, in two sitting.There were a lot of details in her face which I wanted to capture.I guess it has come out good and I am going to submit this one for the Art Show.
This will also be my last post this month, I am off to India tomorrow...
See you all in a few weeks' time.
beautiful - I can't get my head round doing watercolour portraits unless I do them really loose, if I try to do them detailed they just look a mess and I give up! Have a wonderful trip to India
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon...I am still trying to balance between the two myself!
Deletearthi very good work. The details of the face came out so well. hats off to you

Thank you, Nanda, I worked from my heart, not head this time.In fact I hardly knew where I was going.Glad it came out good!
DeleteArti, this came out beautifully! I love how you've managed both the lines and texture in her skin on face and neck. I love that you are incorporating the details you get with your graphite work into your watercolor work. No one does it better than you!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad it turned out well;her skin was quite difficult to do but I loved carving out the details :)
DeleteWOW! This is very beautiful. I love the subtlety with which you have captured the details and the light.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mamta!
DeleteThis is beautiful. The handling of shadows and light over the surface of the skin is done so well. Enjoy your visit…
ReplyDeleteThank you Tony,and I sure will enjoy this trip...
DeleteArti - I think this my be my favorite painting so far. The colors an amazing and you did a great job creating texture on the skin.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, Arti...definitely one of my favorites (I probably say this all the time with you!) I LOVE IT. You should be very proud of this portrait. The best of luck with this one in the Art show....and of course, enjoy your stay in India!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous, Arti! Excellent work!! Have a great time, see you when you come back.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards.
excellent work..nice expression!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Definitely work more with your instincts. :)
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I have arthritis and pencil work is difficult for me. Love to see perfection!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol.My mom has arthritis and I know how painful it can be.Watercolor is much more forgiving than pencil.
DeleteGreat! I love this one! I'm going to show this to my husband who is an art-buff and this will help me to motivate him. Many thanks :)
