Current Works - May 2015

Starting some new stuff here. May brings out the sunshine and makes me want to paint! I'm starting by creating works in different mediums, starting with a watercolor of my grandson, Eddie. I'm showing the completed watercolor and the photograph (which I did not religiously copy).

This is a study in shades of gray. My grays are composed of Permanent Rose, Prussian Blue and Sepia or Burnt Sienna. A very limited palette here (four colors), just exposing the variance in grays from light to dark and warm to cool.

The reference photo which I actually had to lighten somewhat to see detail.
