Portraits - Ann & Carmine

Last Tuesday I got to paint portraits twice. In the morning I painted with the South Bay Art Association portrait group. Ann was our model.


Then in the evening the Wet Paints Studio Group has their sketch night. Carmine who is one of the members of the group graciously sat for us since we hadn't found a model.

  1. Portraits in watercolor are one of the hardest things to paint, you handled both beautifully! I particularly love the skin tones and hair.
