WIP 11 by 14 watercolor on paper |
A portrait I am working on. Horse and owner, a bit challenged with the owner part. I wont be able to share the whole painting till after Christmas. So challenging to get that likeness of painting to person. I think it must take lots and lots of practice sketches and paintings. But I am
determined to figure it out. Asked hubby for some watercolor portrait books for Christmas. Does anyone have a favorite book ?!
Love this story of the off track thoroughbred showing in his first Grand Prix
Hi Maria.
ReplyDeleteThe horse is great! And as for portrait reference books, I recommend one by Mary Whyte, and another by Peggi Habets.
OK, thanks those are now on the top of the list Kathryn!
DeleteI know what you mean about not being able to post until after christmas - I've got 3 paintings I can't post until after Christmas now - thanks for giving us this sneaky peak though! I was asked to do a pet portrait with the owner but I admitted to them that I wasn't as confident with human portraits so he let me off with just the pet thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteSharon, good luck with your Christmas portraits, I do love your animal portraits, you do amazing work. I will be watching to see how they turn out after Christmas. I AM determined to figure out this human species....one day..... ?!!
DeleteThe horse is looking good and I'm pretty sure you'll fathom the person out too :)

DeleteHello Maria:) I'm sure you will figure it out! Even without lots of practice:) I hope to see the finished painting after christmas!

Oh, those humans are tricky......but I keep trying! Hope your week is wonderful as well.
