Portrait Painting and a figurative woman painting in watercolor
After all the kittens I needed to do some other faces. At first you will see a young girl with blonde hair and the second one is another beautiful girl with brown hair in a white dress.
The portrait is finished and is painted on coldpressed Arches watercolor paper. I love the blonde hair in sunlight. No masking fluid was used in both paintings.
The figurative painting is mostly finished.
I must check the hands and feet and may also add some colours here and there, maybe I also need to soften some edges, but mostly it is finished. The background will be as it is now. The girl is so present that nothing more is needed in this painting.
Here is a close up:
Size is 12x24, painted on Fabriano coldpressed watercolor paper.

These are simply beautiful! Just beautiful! Lively and washed in light. I am struggling with my first watercolor portrait at the moment, have no idea what I am doing. Yours are a wonderful inspiration for me right now.

Your portraits are really wonderful. I am so impressed with the hair and your ability to "paint white".
