a pearl of wisdom

I really enjoyed painting this portrait! I almost didn't touch the line drawing, but in the end I figured I'd go for it. 

The art show last week went very well. Thank you so much to all those that came out to it! 

I have all of my art framed and ready for a few more group art shows before X-mas, and now I have time to get back to doing some watercolour painting. 

Stay tuned. : )

"Jo" and "think aloud"

think aloud

InkTober is keeping my on my toes with portraits! I'm drawing with an RSVP pen, which is quite fine, then adding a wash. Also, finished framing all my work today in preparation for the show this weekend. Super excited! Watercolours really shine once they are matted and framed.

Here's info for the Toronto Riverdale Group Art Show.

Sue's hat... Jim's hat

I'm really enjoying InkTober! It's got me doing 3-value portrait studies with an RSVP pen and wash, homework that is long overdue. It's easy to get caught up in the wonderful world of watercolour, but sometimes it's important to go back to basics. Also, I do love painting people wearing hats. : )
