Three watercolors
I am drumming up business at the Princess Hotel out here on Thursdays, just being decorative working on paintings. I have only had the weather for watercolors and the first was a duck, but the second last week was from a group of photos of one of our models, Athena. She was dancing for us and I started the tip jar and got a bunch of amazing photos.
The idea was to do lots of motion, but the demo called and the first was her sitting in this twist on 1/2 sheet of hot pressed. My peers have been telling me I was doing too much "cut out" looking things, so I sort of went all the way. Then I too the photo I really wanted and did a full sheet over the weekend. I was sailing! So today I revived a set of photos from Mexico and did the beggar I have done before. 1/4 sheet.
I keep avoiding watercolor because .... well, I like pastel and they BUY oils, but it was just great fun, mindless and gratifying to do these pieces.
