watercolor portraits underway
















This is the beginning of my first watercolor portrait. (Things have been crazy this summer) As you can see, I just have the face, but I've spent so much time mentally mapping the composition that I think it should all go pretty smoothly from here.

I was very surprised by my materials in starting the project. I used much of my grant money to buy brand new high quality watercolor paints, and I couldn't believe how differently they behaved from the student quality box-set I had bought in high school. It took some getting used to, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.
