A tribute

A good friend's son recently died, so I painted a portrait. I'm unhappy with the way the mouth turned out, but I like his hair. It took me a long time because every time I sat down to paint his picture, I became overwhelmed with emotion. To help me, I turned the picture upside down and painted this way.

YAY! I'VE CREATED THE UGLIEST WATERCOLOR EVER.

If I were to try and save this one, I would use white gouache and eliminate the 3 avocados on the left. Even then, it would not be great.

I started en plein air group to help get artists out of the house and into the parks. This week we met in the Mission Community Gardens.

I am currently struggling to paint looser with watercolor and have been practicing a lot.

I'm not happy with my finished paintings but I DO enjoy sitting outside and staring at flowers.

I still need to add the shadows underneath.

Watercolor Variation

I thought I would try using an ink outline, but realized that I do not care for that kind of style. It pushes things into an illustrative or cartoon world. I also struggled with remembering to keep certain areas unpainted for highlights. Here I tried to scrub away some of the paint, which resulted in damaged paper.

I have very limited experience painting flowers or other plants, so thought I would give it shot. I'm not happy with the results, but the nowness I experienced was splendid.
