On My Easel - watercolor portrait experiment
After I finished painting today, I decided to get out my pan watercolors and try painting from a drawing. Not too experienced in watercolor, I ended up spilling the little pans all over the floor and didn't remember where each was supposed to go. The reds and yellows were easy, but the darks - each time I dipped my brush in a dark, the color was a complete surprise. Never did find cerulean, but I know it's there somewhere. This is on 11 x 14" Yupo, which seems to be a lot like painting on gesso or white gouache in the lifting technique - although I didn't really do much lifting. It was fun and I'm thinking of using it with my ink markers in dancer drawings. Thanks so much for looking!
