Working on Hair

"Meaghan" - wip
8" x 8"
watercolor on aquabord

Well, I made some more progress on this yesterday.  I'm fiddling now with her hair.  I paint a little and then stand back and look, I paint a little more, then stand back and look a little more.  It's a slow process, but fun.  I keep assessing the relationships between the shapes, colors and values and I think it's coming together.  I'll do some more work today and hopefully wrap her up.  This has been a fun departure for me.  

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Have a great day!

  3. This piece has gradually turned into a true glowing jewel -- the high contrast really sets of her face as if light is shining from it. I cannot wait to see how it turned out finished -- but I know more than anyone else that painting on this surface is a slow and meticulous process. So I will wait patiently!
