Here's some really awesome photos I'm posting after the one I painted recently, but am not finished with it yet. Have lots to do on the face, the eyes are in wrong place, and too blue. I don't sign them till they are 100% completed.
Actually, watercoloring is hard in one way and easy in another.
I often use an art projector to copy a photo with pencil onto art paper.
This gives me some guidlines to use.
Its "layering" and blending colors thats hard and often frustraiting.
Coloring with oils, acrylics and pastels is much easier as you can blend colors and make them "behave" on paper.
With watercolors if you're not careful you'll just get mud.
Shading is sometimes impossible to me.
Thanks for all the compliments....I'm embarrased by all the great comments. I'm really not that talanted....there's so many artist out there with down right awesome talant....sadly they're paid only fraction of pennies its worth.
On ebay there's numerous paintings sold for just pennies. These are often Chinese artist paid about one cent for one painting. They're more or less servants. The money made on ebay is selling the matting and framing. Check it out...its very, very sad. Makes my work look like a toddlers in comparison.
I'm posting some of my favorite photos.
