This was done for the WDE on WetCanvas. I cropped the reference a lot to focus on this man. I did him without any pencil drawing first. That takes a lot of concentration on my part. lol
Joan you are amzing ... this is one of your best figure painting ... BTW painting this way always needs too much focusing ... it is a bit stressful but totally rewarding ... keep it up - love to see more
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.
