Watercoloring this Week


Here are two watercolor pencil-with-wet-brush drawings/paintings I did this week.
I know the old woman looks familiar, but this is a different version. She was more
attractive and thinner in the one I did earlier in early April. Plus, the other one was 
done in colored pencils not watercolor.  Rudbeckia is my favorite flower to draw so I 
may do more of them.  These two pieces will be my entry for Paint Party Friday this week.

The portrait is being entered in the Art Cards Challenge.

    I love your flowers (I also love to have them in my garden), beautiful colors and shades. The old woman has so much character, I really like that a lot.

    I like them both, but my favorite are the flowers. I also thought it was interesting that the color palette's are coordinated, and it seems as if she's glancing off to the side to see the flowers. Blessings!

    Your flowers are so graceful. They are lovely. When I look at your woman I wonder what she is thinking about. I love when a portrait makes me want to know more about the subject.

    Hi Faye, I like both of them. I have Rudebekia in my garden right now and every year. I like them too for their continuous color. The lady is very expressive. Faye, I'm amazed by so many comments. I"m #61. I'm guessing this must be due to the challenges you do. Wonderful you have so many visitors.
