I really don't do a lot of Watercolors; it's just not my favorite medium to work with. When I do use it, it tends to be more for backgrounds, or just for nature paintings--not for people or faces etc. But I found this Angel Watercolor in my studio yesterday when I was looking for something else (that happens to me a lot!), so I thought I'd share it with you.
The subject of this painting was actually a resin statue that I have in the yard outside my studio. The statue itself is all gray--meant to look like rock. So it was a challenge turning what I was looking at into what I really "saw." :) But I had fun doing it. Her hands are too small and her eyes aren't the greatest, and her feathers could use more details...but hey, that's OK. Sometimes you just have to stop before you mess things up REALLY bad! LOL. And it was good practice for me, if nothing else.
I did one watercolor when I was teaching high school art that I really loved. It was a fish, and it was to be a gift for my husband. I wish I could share that one with you! Sadly, it was stolen by a student and never returned. I can't even tell you how much that broke my heart when it happened, since it was supposed to be an anniversary gift for the Hubs. And it really was the best watercolor I ever did. But oh well. Gotta let it go sometimes and move on. :)
