| Overall, I believe it was a good experiment. My focus was on the samurai scalp-lock, and that certainly is the focus in the painting. When I saw that it was going to look nothing like Jules, I felt free to do all sorts of nasty, un-watercolor-painter-like things to it. I would like to do more of him, but definitely will get some decent reference photos, and, if I'm lucky, he'll even sit still for 1/2 an hour so I can do some drawing. |

| This was the reference - over-exposed, and he chose to stand under a trellis which cast strange shadows. Well, thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome. |
This portrait is amazing, Kathryn. I love the way you captured the light in back of his head.....A beautiful watercolor! Your paintings get better with every one you do!
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I love the way that you are willing to experiment. I like what you have done with this painting and hope that you get Jules back soon for some more reference shots.
ReplyDeleteKathryn - I really see a likeness...don't toss it away - it is wonderful. I like all your un-watercolor techniques. Have a great day.
